Sheila Melzak

Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist

Baobab co-Founder and Director 2008-2025

Sheila was part of a small group of clinicians and administrators who together started planning and running the Baobab Centre in March 2008. She grew up in an East European refugee community in the UK after the second world war and was always drawn towards children who had no parents and to thinking about finding robust antidotes, to the absence of involved parental care, that can be rooted in siblings and friends as well as substitute parents.
