Ms Karina Melvin

Psychoanalyst

I am a psychoanalyst, psychologist, psychotherapist and published author with over 10 years clinical and lecturing experience.

About Me

As an experienced psychoanalyst and psychotherapist, I offer a steady, insightful space for deep personal exploration. With over a decade in practice and lecturing, I guide individuals to understand their inner world and long-standing patterns. We can work together to make sense of complex feelings, helping you find clarity. Clients seeking a reflective and comprehensive approach to self-discovery often find our sessions a good fit.

Approach

Sessions are shaped by careful listening and gentle inquiry, giving space for connections between past and present to emerge. I work with adolescents and adults in Dublin 2 and online, keeping the pace intentional and responsive to your needs. We track identity and relationship themes through reflective dialogue and measured interpretive feedback, noting how patterns appear between meetings and adjusting focus as clarity grows. This way of working tends to suit people seeking thoughtful, lasting change.
