About Us

Dr. Susannah Melville

Consultant Systemic Psychotherapist

I am a consultant systemic psychotherapist and I have worked in mental health services since 2000. Initially working as a psychiatric nurse in the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board before retraining to become and work as a systemic psychotherapist in 2011. In addition to this I have completed a professional doctorate, through submitting an individual thesis. My thesis considered a range of perspectives about the mind/body relationship including consideration of the implications of mind/body ‘separation’ in contemporary health care.

I have several years’ experience of private practice offering both supervision, consultation and psychotherapy. I draw from both evidence base practices and practice-based evidence. Evidence based practice can be helpful for some people, but it is not the answer for everyone. Practice base evidence enables clinical wisdom and clinical experience to inform practice and compliments a systemic approach.
