Psychologist with a Financial Services Focus

Do you manage performance targets and find that your consultants’ personal issues are impacting on performance?

If so, have you thought of referring them for professional support?

My name is Mervyn Davidowitz and I am a Clinical Psychologist who has spent 20 years working in the financial services space. I have had extensive experience dealing with lifestyle problems arising from pressurised sales and distribution areas and from the “boiler room” effects of the investment banking and asset management.

My clients are typically professional people with above average ambitions. Whether in a coaching or therapeutic space, they look for awareness, a safe and confidential space to verbalise their concerns, a sounding board, helpful tools and better self management.

Typical issues raised in sessions are:

• Stress and anxiety issues - often linked to lifestyle difficulties in balancing work/ personal life

• Relationship difficulties with significant others

• Trauma related issues

• Depression

• Career and work related themes

Therapeutic Approach

My aim in therapy is to facilitate a contained and safe space that enables clients:

• personal expression

• insight

• to find a management solution that works for them

Where appropriate I use coaching techniques and also employ a number of techniques from the Positive School of Psychology.

Costs involved

Affordability is an important aim in providing a creative space for both parties to be satisfied. With this in mind, my charge rate is equivalent to medical aid rates.
