Consultant Adult Psychiatrist and Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist
Helping adults and adults with learning disabilities remained the main area of professional focus of Dr Maciej Danilewicz for almost 15 years. His experience acquired through working in general adult psychiatry hospitals, addiction rehabilitation centres and forensic units (low, medium, and a high security) is combined with the Postgraduate Diplomas in Clinical Psychiatry (Cardiff University) and Cognitive Therapy awarded by the Oxford University.
Being dually qualified in Clinical Psychiatry and Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy gives Dr Danilewicz detailed knowledge of pharmacological treatments and various modalities of psychotherapy that translate directly to a unique ability of creating tailored treatment plans and in some cases not necessarily involving treatment with medications.
Dr Danilewicz is an expert panel member at Myogenes, a pioneer in providing pharmacogenomic testing (also known as personalised medicine) in the United Kingdom. Treating psychiatric disorders using personalised medicine accelerates effectiveness of therapy and mitigates some of the medication related side-effects. DNA testing enables practitioner to achieve 80% accuracy in the choice of psychiatric medication.
