More about Melanie
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am licensed in the UK with 20 years of professional work experience. I am a white multi heritage , therapist/coach and trained in person centred therapy, NLP, EFT , Yoga & meditation and mindfulness teacher .
I am very open to people exploring the spiritual path and more alternate ways of living .
I blend my west and eastern approaches to human suffering and healing and help people particularly navigate the unknown and less clear times of their lives, especially when they are moving through a life transition .
I have experience in helping clients with stress, life stage changes, transitions, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, confidence, depression, & coping with life changes toxic relationships and workplaces.
I believe that you are the expert of your story and have the power, resources and skills within to heal and transform your life and i like to support clients on that journey . I know that you are not broken , need fixing but that you have many strengths and gifts that I will assist you in exploring as well as overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage .
In the first session I like to do a short assessment and get to know you and explore what brought you to therapy, what you might be looking for and what has helped you so far . We will also look at what other steps you could take.
The aim of the first few sessions to explore where you are at, and some tools that could help you in the meantime as well as give you the sense of whether our way of working is right for you . Sometimes clients need time to discuss whats going on and at other times they need some ideas about things they can try to move through whats difficult. People vary in terms of how many sessions they feel would help to move through the challenges, garner insights and generate practical tools that can applied in day to day life. Some people only need a few sessions to get them moving forward and for others they need a bit longer.
Once we meet if you feel i am not the right fit or want a different approach or i feel someone else can help you more then we can also discuss the next step . We can also work on what areas you would like to focus on and see some change . I look forward to meeting and working with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
