About me

Hello and welcome! 🌐 www.melinda-green.com I’m Melinda Green, an accredited Psychological Psychotherapist in private practice, with professional training and clinical experience in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT an Schema -Therapy across Sydney (AUS), Amsterdam (NL), and Berlin (DE). About me: I was born in Münster (GER) to a German mother and Nigerian father, and I’ve been married to an Australian CEO for over 10 years now. Together, we’re raising three bilingual children. Navigating my own intercultural relationship, raising a multilingual family, and balancing work and life roles gives me a deep, lived understanding of the very challenges many of my clients bring into therapy. My work goes beyond traditional therapy frameworks. I believe psychotherapy shouldn't be stiff or distant – but alive, open-minded, and inclusive. In my practice "The Green Space", I create a space shaped by diversity, where humor is as welcome as depth, and where modern challenges are met with both clarity and compassion. Whether you’re seeking individual support, navigating relationship difficulties, or facing the unique dynamics of intercultural life – I’m here to accompany you with empathy, expertise, and a grounded, human approach. 🗣️ Languages: • Native: German • Fluent: English (C2) • Fluent: Dutch (C1) Media Features & Public Speaking In addition to my clinical work, I regularly contribute to public conversations around mental health, relationships, and neurodiversity. I’ve been featured and consulted by various major media outlets, including: 1LIVE, ARTE, ARD, ZDF, funk, SWR, and WDR COSMO. Whether it's expert commentary, podcast interviews, or written contributions – I value opportunities to make psychological insights more accessible, human, and relatable to a broader audience.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
EFT: Emotionally focused therapyRecommended for couples or individuals who want to strengthen emotional connections in relationships by exploring feelings and attachment.
Schema therapyRecommended for those who want to break out of negative patterns or "schemas" that they developed early in life and keep repeating.
As an accredited Psychological Psychotherapist (CBT) in Germany, I work evidence-based, structured, and compassionate. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is based on the idea that thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence each other—and that meaningful change becomes possible when we understand these patterns and practice new responses. To deepen and personalize CBT, I integrate Schema Therapy (working with long-standing emotional patterns and attachment needs) and an emotion-focused, relationship-sensitive approach (helping you access emotions safely, express needs clearly, and create more supportive connections—with yourself and others). My work is practical and grounded, while also making space for what feels difficult to put into words. In couples therapy, I combine structured CBT-based interventions with schema and emotion-focused elements. We work on de-escalation, communication, needs and boundaries, trust and repair after conflict—and on understanding the deeper emotional patterns that keep repeating.
