More about Melissa

- BACP
I am an MBACP accredited integrative UK psychotherapist with 10 + years of professional work experience, a degree in Counselling, and obtaining a Masters in Mental Health Science. I have experience in helping clients and couples with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem and confidence, & depression. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage and I respect that. I am here to support you in that process and assist you on this journey together using various techniques such as talking therapy, CBT, Mindfulness, Card Games, Videos, and worksheets.
I offer 12 sessions of structured therapy for Betterhelp Clients with a review after 6 sessions. Should clients like to continue following 12 sessions for a further 6 sessions, they may request this during the 12th session and will be subject for evaluation.
The counseling may be done via video, audio calls, or live chat.
Chat room messages between sessions will be addressed within 24 hours on weekdays only, and between the hours of 3pm-4pm.
It is expected that all clients address their concerns as concise and specific as possible so that I can return the message with thorough and explicit guidance. Chat room messages are not to be considered an ongoing chat line and are there for clients who have specific requests on how to manage an issue.

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.
