Karl Melvin is an Irish based Psychotherapist, who has worked with estranged individuals for 10 years.
He is an accredited therapist with the Irish Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists and has a Master’s Degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy. His dissertation was entitled "The Experiences of Familial Estranged", which offered an Irish perspective of the impact of Family Estrangement.
He also has an academic paper published in the Family Journal entitled "The Changing Impact and Challenges of Family Estrangement" and is currently completing his first book, exploring the family dynamics which lead to estrangement and the various struggles of being estranged, as well as providing a solution focused approach to working through these struggles.
Karl works with all perspectives, to help them connect with the deep sense of loss and rejection they carry as a result of their family situation.
Focusing on each individual's strengths, both intrinsic and learnt, we address how they can manage the many Psychological, Social and Relational challenges of being an estranged adult in this complex world, where estrangement is often misunderstood and stigmatized.
As well as working 1-2-1, he also delivers workshops to estranged individuals and professionals, such as therapists and social workers, who regularly work with estrangement and wish to understand and help their own clients.
