More about Melanie

  • 15 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I have worked as an integrative psychotherapist with young people and adults for 15 years. As an Oxford University graduate, I embarked on a career in education. This led me to appreciate the importance of good mental health to help us flourish in all areas of our lives. Accredited in the United Kingdom, I have managed counselling services for young people and adults and bring a wealth of experience to the therapy I can offer.

I base my approach to therapy on my core beliefs that we can all grow and change and that meaningful connection with others is of paramount importance to our capacity to thrive. My aim is always to offer a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space in which the wished-for growth and change can take place.

Integrative Psychotherapy has involved training in a variety of different models and theories and allows me to use an approach that meets the specific requirements, circumstances and preferences of my clients.

My experience in helping clients includes managing stress, anxiety and low mood, relationship and parenting issues, coping with grief and loss and also significant life changes. Taking the first step to bring about positive change takes courage: I am here to support you in that process.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
