Therapist Paul Melia
BA Hons, MPhil

I am a qualified and experienced therapist, trained in Transactional Analysis Counselling, Psychotherapy and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (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.
