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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
