More about Melanie
- 3 years' experience

- NCPS
I am an accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor in the United Kingdom with 3 years of professional work experience. I have been involved in supporting those with challenges in anxiety reduction, compulsive behaviours, managing depression, relationships, grief and loss, post-traumatic stress, and abusive experiences, and delivering psycho-education for those wanting to gain a better understanding of how thoughts, feelings, and emotions connect. I offer unconditional positive regard in a confidential non-judgemental private space where you can explore your challenges deeper to empower and strengthen your problem-solving skills at a gentle pace. I am a neuro-diverse practitioner tailoring sessions to client needs . Additional methods I may bring to the therapeutic relationship include self-hypnotherapy for relaxation, mindfulness, and working through arts and crafts should you wish to experience them.
Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

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.
