"Making minds more secure"

Forensic psychotherapy explores the roots of violent, sexual and antisocial behaviour.

This is a relatively recently created discipline that applies psychoanalytic knowledge to the assessment, management and treatment of mentally disordered offenders, forming a bridge between traditional forensic psychiatry - with its focus on diagnosis and risk - and traditional psychotherapy - with its focus on understanding why things happen.

Dr. Melania Duca has trained in Clinical Psychiatry at a postgraduate level with the University of South Wales. She has worked on cases of domestic violence and psychological abuse. She has offered counselling to neurodivergent and personality disordered offenders at all stages of the criminal conviction process. Dr. Duca also provides rehabilitation services.

Dr. Duca was awarded the prestigious Cardiff University-Bond Solon (CUBS) Expert Witness Certificate in Criminal Law Proceedings and is listed in the National Register of University Certificated Expert Witnesses.
