Melina Sarra-May

Welcome to Melina Therapy. I offer reflective, supportive and insight-oriented integrative clinical supervision for therapists, coaches and helping professionals - seeking a trauma-informed, thoughtful space to grow and professionally enrich their practice.

My integrative approach draws on 30 years of clinical experience, combining traditional person centred and cognitive therapies, with coaching, mindfulness and trauma-recovery approaches.

I provide a collaborative space where practitioners can deepen their clinical thinking, gain fresh perspectives, strengthen their professional development and reflect on their work with curiosity, insight and a commitment to ethical practice.

My clinical work spans a broad range of presenting issues, from anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties to more complex experiences of childhood trauma, PTSD, attachment wounds and adverse life events.

Alongside my general practice, I have developed specialist knowledge in trauma and addiction, including extensive work within substance misuse and working with survivors of sexual abuse, sexual violence and other forms of interpersonal trauma.

My experience also includes working with children, young people, adults, couples and groups in a variety of therapeutic contexts. This breadth of experience enables me to support practitioners with both common mental health concerns and more complex client presentations.

I believe healing begins when the mind is understood and the body feels safe. I am particularly interested in self-regulation and the impact of trauma on the nervous system and the ways in which mindfulness, neuroscience and mind-body approaches such as breathwork and meditation can complement traditional therapeutic practice.

In supervision, I encourage thoughtful exploration of both the therapeutic process and the practitioner's own responses, supporting clinical effectiveness, ethical practice and professional wellbeing.

I offer online clinical supervision to practitioners Nottingham, throughout the UK and internationally. Working online provides a consistent and accessible reflective space, fitting around the demands of busy practices and everyday life, regardless of your location.

I am English-Italian and I bring a culturally sensitive and relationally attuned perspective to my work. My clinical experience has often drawn me to supporting individuals and communities who feel isolated and have experienced marginalisation, displacement or significant life adversity. Or those with questions of identity, belonging, loss and grief. I value creating a supervisory space where different perspectives and lived experiences can be explored with openness, curiosity and respect.

In supervision, opportunities are provided to explore the impact of clinical work, including vicarious and secondary trauma, alongside support in working with ethical boundaries, scope of practice and professional competence. This enables the exploration of complex clinical material, deeper clinical thinking, consideration of client safety and risk and support for practitioner wellbeing.

I believe that warmth, openness and authenticity are the foundations of trust in a supervisory relationship and that consistency strengthens both the bond and the depth of the work. Alongside this, I also value supportive challenge where appropriate, helping practitioners to think more critically, deepen reflection and sustain ethical and effective practice.

If you would like to explore working together, you are welcome to get in touch to arrange an initial consultation.

I offer a 60-minute initial consultation, to assess what your supervision needs and expectations are and whether we are a good fit to work together. This is chargeable at my standard fee.

I offer the option of a 15 minute call, which is non chargeable. If you would like to make contact with me prior to booking a full initial consultation. Please email me for more information.

Welcome to Melina Therapy, I offer calm, grounded trauma-informed therapy for moments when you are feeling overwhelmed, under pressure, or carrying more than feels easy to hold.

A space to pause, reflect and come back to yourself. Where we work at your pace, gently exploring what feels present and what may be sitting beneath it.

When you need your voice to be heard and listened to, therapy can help make sense of what's been building up internally and bring greater clarity, steadiness and understanding.

With 30 years' clinical experience supporting clients emotionally- helping them to heal and reconnect with themselves, their relationships and their sense of wellbeing.

You may be experiencing anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, low-mood, trauma, PTSD, low-self-esteem, loss or grief. Sometimes there is a clear reason for how you are feeling and sometimes it can be harder to put into words. At Melina Therapy I offer space for both.

Alongside my general practice, I specialise in addictions, trauma and supporting survivors of sexual abuse, sexual violence and other experiences that can have lasting impact on their emotional wellbeing and relationships.

I believe healing begins when the mind is understood and the body feels safe. I am an integrative therapist and my approach combines the depth of traditional therapy with practical mind-body regulation. Drawing on neuroscience and evidence based therapeutic approaches, mindfulness, breathwork and meditation.

For couples and intimate partners, experiencing difficulties, I offer emotionally focused therapy - to improve communication, trust and navigate challenges including conflict, intimacy and betrayal.

For clients who want to prioritise their direction and wellbeing, I offer personalised coaching. I can help you clarify your goals, make sustainable lifestyle changes and create greater alignment with your values, aspirations and sense of purpose. This can also support more grounded and healthier daily routines.

I provide online therapy offering professional support from the comfort and privacy of your own space. Working online makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still creating a meaningful, consistent and supportive therapeutic relationship.

I work with clients in Nottingham, across the UK and internationally. I offer accessible therapy, whether you are living in the UK, abroad or travelling frequently. This can support those working remotely, or expats, those building a start-up, or navigating the pressures of a demanding career, family, relationships or everyday life.

I am English-Italian and my own lived experience has shaped a deep respect for identity, culture and belonging. I am passionate about working with clients from diverse backgrounds and offer a culturally sensitive, inclusive space where your story is heard and respected. Also, a space for those who feel isolated, displaced or with questions about their identity or where they belong.

In my practice, I help clients explore and make sense of their past, while supporting greater presence and ease through mindful grounding approaches and bring trauma-recovery healing to experiences that may still feel emotionally present. This therapeutic work supports meaning-making from the past, trauma integration and greater regulation and internal balance in the present.

Whether you are reaching out for the first time or returning to therapy after some time away, you are welcome here.
