I have had more than 25 years of experience in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and UAE. My aim is to develop compassionate yet productive care to my patients. For me, child-centred care means placing the parent’s concerns and the child’s comfort at the forefront of my investigations. I have been an Associate Professor of Pediatrics since 2005, which led me to publish several articles in renowned international medical journals. During my time at Mansoura University, my pediatric rotational rounds were in subspecialty clinics in Allergy and Immunology, Hematology and Oncology, Neonatology, Gastro-enterology and Hepatology, Nephrology and Neurology. Drawing on my practical experience, the topic of my Master’s thesis was Insulin like Growth Factor – II in Chronic Liver Disease in Pediatrics. My investigation into chronic liver diseases was driven by my own personal and professional exposure to an epidemic of problematic liver cases in Egypt. During my tenure as an Assistant Lecturer of Pediatrics from 1996 to 2000, I became interested in exploring a wide range of allergic disorders in children. My interests underpinned my MD thesis, entitled Interleukin – 4 Gene Expressions and Adhesion Molecule Profile in Children with Different Types of Allergy, i.e. asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis. My 25+ years of clinical experience were built upon an amalgamation of practice and theory of managing allergic disorders. My work as a Consultant Pediatrician in Saudi Arabia and Egypt meant being exposed to a wide range of problematic cases. However, I believe that there needs to be a universal protocol to managing child cases. To keep up with the ever-changing nature of these protocols, I have attended a number of International Pediatric conferences in Europe and published a plethora of articles in numerous journals. My fascination with pediatric respiratory disease and allergies also drove me to undertake a Pediatric Bronchoscopy course with ERS (European Respiratory Society).

Dr Catherine has 25 years experience of aesthetic plastic surgery, and is one of the very few female plastic surgeons in Dubai. She has been working in Dubai for the last 14 years.
A few personal words from Dr Catherine:
Being a female plastic surgeon gives me a certain advantage, as most of my patients are females. They often find it easier to speak to me than to a man, and perhaps I also being a female myself, have a better understanding of their problem.
Cosmetic surgery which is a sub specialty of plastic and reconstructive surgery is something that can help many unhappy women. Ageing is sometimes a problem, when it changes the features and characteristics of a person’s face.
Many women find also that their body is loosing the sexual appeal after several pregnancies. Plastic surgery can restore their abdomen and breasts. In my point of view this is not purely cosmetic surgery, but rather reconstructive surgery.

Summary
Jodie is a clinical psychologist trained at the University of Cape Town, South Africa with 23 years of clinical and therapeutic experience. Her style of psychotherapy is based on psychodynamic principles and is built on a dialogue and developing a meaningful therapeutic relationship between herself and the patient. She often works with a therapeutic technique called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) which assists in processing deep-seated depression, anxiety and trauma-related issues.
Apart from working in Cape Town, her home town, and Dubai, Jodie lived and worked in Japan for five years, and finds the experience of working with expatriate communities extremely rewarding. She enjoys working with and developing an understanding of the unique stresses experienced outside of one's passport country, and how this impacts on individual personalities. Living abroad can raise past issues that are unexamined and unprocessed, as well as emotional loss, which is part of relocating. By overcoming these difficulties, individuals are better able to build emotional resilience through a willingness to engage with the process of living in a new place. She believes that personal growth needs to happen alongside professional growth for success to be truly authentic and meaningful.
Jodie's patient base consists of adolescents and adults of all ages. She views her patients as individuals expressing the need to be heard, held and accompanied for a way on their journey. Her approach has been influenced by Existential-Humanistic philosophy, which believes that everyone has an inherent capacity for making rational decisions, achieving self-acceptance and reaching their maximum potential. Questions of meaning and purpose and the quest to answer these questions lead many to psychotherapy, and she is always honoured to be a part of someone’s journey.
