More about Melanie

  • 5 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am a BACP registered therapist based in the U.K. I have worked with a diverse range of clients with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement, loss, relationship issues, addiction, substance abuse, self harm, coercive control and domestic abuse.

I offer a warm, authentic and individual approach and work in a person centred way incorporating elements of CBT ACT, Gestalt and psychodynamic modalities. I acknowledge every person as an individual and completely unique. I work in a way that I adopt and apply this approach in every treatment plan I write and every therapy session I take.

I believe that the first step is often the most difficult because it is the unknown. We often fear what we do not know, yet what if i told you all your answers are within you! Reaching out for support takes considerable strength, determination and courage, so well done for getting this far. If you are ready to take that next step, then know that you are not alone and I am here to walk alongside you on your journey to self -discovery.

I look forward to 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.
