Hi, I am Melissa

My counselling style, as a Humanistic Person-Centred Therapist, means our work together is focused on what feels most important to you.

I work with Adults of all ages and also Young People aged 13-18 years old. I provide an age-inclusive space, welcome gender-diverse clients, and am neurodivergent-affirming. In my psychotherapy practice every identity is respected and celebrated.

In addition to my private practice, I currently work as an NHS cancer service counsellor and support staff and adolescence students at a local school. In my previous role working at Victim Support, I developed a deep foundation in crisis support and trauma-informed counselling practice.

We are all entirely unique, yet we share the universal experience of being human.

This belief sits at the very heart of my practice, it is both my personal philosophy and my guiding approach, ensuring that our work together remains grounded in empathy, mutual respect, and genuine connection.
