Clinical Director – Dr Melany McKenna

Dr Melany McKenna is the Clinical Director and founder of WellbeingWorks. A Clinical Psychologist by background, she has since qualified as Cognitive Analytic Practitioner, Executive Coach and Organisational Development Practitioner. With over 20 years of experience of applying psychological principles to people and teams to help them function more efficiently and more compassionately, she is passionate about cultivating cultures of meaningful mental health support and viewing this in parity with physical health.

Melany specialises in offering psychological supervision to other Psychologists and therapists.
“I use Cognitive Analytic Therapy as my primary psychological model, due to it’s ability to provide a robust, relationally informed framework for integrative therapy. Thus my practise is integrative and informed by a range of psychological models including Psychodynamic theory, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural therapy and associated ‘third wave therapies’, and Schema therapy.

More recently I trained as a Pilates instructor and now teach regularly and hold retreats focused on women’s wellbeing. I find Pilates to be a helpful adjunct to psychological work, and great way to engage with mindful movement!”
