About Me

Dr Christina Baly-Cusack

I am currently based in Reigate in East Surrey. As a qualified Clinical Psychologist who obtained my Doctorate at the University of Surrey, I have worked for 10 years in various NHS settings with both children and adults across Surrey and South West London. Having recently moved to Surrey, I am building my practice in the area. I bring compassion and empathy; values that underpin both my practice and my decision to pursue a career in clinical psychology.

 

My current specialism is the psychological impact of attachment, trauma and adverse life experiences. I take a flexible and integrative approach to a wide range of psychological difficulties, recognising how adverse experiences can contribute to low mood, anxiety, obsessive–compulsive tendencies, and other mental health presentations. Throughout my career, I have been committed to providing high-quality, evidence-based psychological approaches. I draw on a range of therapeutic models to tailor interventions to the individual, with the aim of improving outcomes and supporting meaningful, lasting change.

I have a particular interest in the interaction between neurodevelopment and life experiences, and I offer neuro-developmental and neuro-psychological assessments as part of my practice. This allows for a holistic understanding of an individual’s strengths and difficulties, informing thoughtful and personalised recommendations.

Parenting support emphasises connection over correction, guiding parents in building meaningful relationships with their children. I focus on fostering understanding to strengthen family bonds, which can benefit parents of children struggling with their mental health.

I provide a safe, confidential space for children and adults to explore their thoughts and feelings, whether that be online or face to face.
