Bio
My name is Dr. Melania Duca; I am a multicultural Senior Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor, Fellow of the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists (UK), and a fully accredited therapist member of many other professional bodies such as the American Psychological Association. I have a postgraduate diploma in Clinical Psychiatry and certificates of completion of training in behavioural therapy. I am insured to work internationally, and I have experience in counselling ethnic and religious minorities. I clocked up over 6000 hours of therapy, provided to neurodiverse (such as ADHD & Asperger) and personality disordered patients; 68% of my work currently consists in treating and managing people, and offenders, affected by Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD), Borderline Type. I also enjoy working alongside couples, helping them improve communication and intimacy. I practice as a bilingual specialist in three medical clinics, based in Northern Ireland and Italy.
