Patrick Melville | Background

Patrick Melville was born in Colombia and was adopted by a couple from the UK when he was just weeks old. He then grew up in England having, what he described, as a privileged life.

In 2017, Patrick was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, told he had a stage 4 malignant Glioblastoma. After two years of treatment, he was miraculously told he was in remission. As a result, he decided to use his commercial experience, mental health knowledge, and personal trauma to guide and inspire staff across various organizations.

His diagnosis and recovery from cancer motivated Patrick to share his story, professional and personal. His experience opened his eyes to the importance of self care, as well as how to look after physical and mental health.

His cancer experience was a catalyst for him to set up Melville Mental Solutions, where his team provides mental health research, articles, workshops, active listening sessions, and support to become mental health first aiders.
