About Melissa
Melissa has 15 years of experience as a BACP counsellor. She builds sessions around respect, sensitivity and compassion. Conversations are collaborative and shaped around what the person needs in the moment.
Her work draws on person-centred principles and practical strategies from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions aim to be clear and down-to-earth, with actions you can try between meetings.
Melissa adapts each plan to a person’s goals and pace. She helps people develop coping tools for anxiety and stress, and practical steps for navigating grief or career transitions. The focus is on small, manageable changes that add up over time.
Starting therapy can feel difficult, and Melissa acknowledges that step. She aims to create a calm, supportive space where people can talk things through, try new strategies, and work toward greater resilience and clarity.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also help people keep continuity of support when they are living abroad or moving between places. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor the session rhythm so therapy fits into everyday commitments while still focusing on progress.
