Meet Melanie Richards: A Trusted Psychodynamic Psychotherapist in London

With years of advanced training and clinical experience, I bring a depth of understanding to every session. I am accredited by the BPC, UKCP, FPC, and EMDR Europe, and I strictly follow the ethical codes of these professional organisations. This commitment ensures that every client receives respectful, confidential, and high-standard care.

Understanding My Therapeutic Approach

Psychological challenges can affect anyone. Whether the issue is sudden or long-standing, therapy can help. Some clients benefit from short-term focused work, while others require longer-term support. I tailor the treatment to your needs, ensuring a collaborative and responsive process.

Therapy is most effective when you feel safe. I provide a secure, supportive environment that fosters trust. This space allows clients to express themselves openly and begin meaningful inner work.

From Past to Present: The Psychodynamic Perspective

To create lasting change, we must understand the root of current struggles. That means exploring the connection between early life experiences and present-day problems. While we focus on the here and now, recognising the influence of the past is essential. This insight helps us understand patterns that may be holding you back.

Collaborative, Ethical and Evidence-Based Care

Outside of my private practice, I’ve worked in the Trauma Unit at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust. I bring this institutional expertise into my one-on-one work, ensuring you receive evidence-based care rooted in real-world clinical experience.

Working together, we identify the best treatment for you. My role is to support you in gaining clarity and confidence, developing deeper self-awareness, and navigating your challenges with resilience.

Begin the Journey to Growth and Healing

Therapy can lead to profound personal transformation. With a greater understanding of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviour, you can experience real change. Improved self-esteem, stronger relationships, and a renewed sense of purpose are all possible outcomes of this work.
