About me

Melanie Clews

o

.

I offer group and individual psychotherapy in London and online.

As a psychotherapist I offer an approach in my therapeutic practice that is based on a range of professional clinical experience. I have worked in different mental health sectors - the NHS, the third/charity sector, in a higher education and university setting, and in private practice.

I am a clinical supervisor, and have an advanced qualification (with the Institute of Group Analysis) as a training group analyst.

I believe in the creative and therapeutic potential of groups; their capacity to meaningfully contain difficult, intimate, ambivalent and sometimes strong emotions.

I have experience working with young adults individually and in groups; offering group therapy for themes such as relationships, sexuality, sexual identity and gender diversity. In addition, I have extensive experience of working with issues relating to loss and bereavement.

It is my belief that talking and thinking with an experienced therapist, in a confidential and safe therapeutic environment, can offer the possibility of developing new ways of thinking, understanding and insight into patterns of relating – allowing a space for change in the present and hope for the future.”
