About Melina
I am a BABCP-accredited High Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, having begun my CBT training journey in 2020 at the University of Birmingham. I currently practice in both the NHS and private practice, providing structured, evidence-based CBT in line with BABCP standards and ethical guidelines.
Before training as a CBT therapist, I worked as a Social Worker within Children’s Services, completing both a Diploma and a Master’s degree in Social Work. This role involved working with individuals and families experiencing complex emotional and psychological difficulties, and required a strong commitment to safeguarding, professional accountability, and ethical practice.
I also hold a BSc in Psychology from the University of Leicester, which underpins my understanding of psychological theory, research, and evidence-based interventions. My combined academic training and clinical experience allow me to work collaboratively and effectively with a wide range of presenting difficulties.
