Dr Melanie Silove

Calling up a therapist can be difficult and is often triggered by a personal crisis. The therapeutic space offered by Dr Melanie is a safe sanctuary dedicated to the work of healing, personal growth and the recovery from trauma.

Exploring and working through difficult feelings and events is often unsettling and can lie outside our usual comfort zone. I therefore try to offer you a relationship where you feel seen, heard and understood. I regard myself as a reliable companion and ‘fellow traveller’ who provides neither practical advice nor homework but who instead encourages you to freely explore without censorship the images, feelings and associations arising in your mind and body.

You may discover through this therapeutic process lost, neglected or rejected parts of yourself. Integrating these aspects into your personality and giving up old self- defeating pattens often promotes a new sense of feeling alive, a deeper understanding of old emotional wounds and a more robust sense of personal identity. This ‘gold’ or treasure from your therapeutic journey will continue to benefit and nourish you long after your last session and as you begin a new more hopeful chapter of your life.

If you think this approach could be helpful to you, please contact me to set up an initial consultation.
