Therapist Paul Melia
BA Hons, MPhil

I am a qualified and experienced therapist, trained in Transactional Analysis Counselling and the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy of Freud and Lacan.

I established Therapy in Manchester in 2011, building on my experience as a counsellor for a leading private healthcare provider and as a therapist for a North West charity.

I play an active role in the region’s professional network, having served

• as Chair of the North West Regional Psychotherapy Association (nwrpa.org.uk)

• on the editorial board for the peer-reviewed Transactional Analysis Journal (TAJ)

• and as member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counsellors and psychotherapists (bacp.co.uk)

 

Supervision and Training

I provide supervision for counsellors and psychotherapists, and deliver talks, facilitate reading groups, and lead seminars and workshops for therapists and members of related professions.

 

Art Historian

I am also an art historian, having authored books and catalogues, as well as curated exhibitions, including retrospectives of work by artists David Hockney and Peter Greenaway.

Before becoming a therapist, I enjoyed a successful 20-year career in the visual arts, holding senior roles at UK universities.
