About Melanie
Melanie approaches therapy as a collaborative process, beginning with an initial chat in a booked session where each person is listened to and their beliefs are respected. Whether someone seeks growth in a particular area, struggles with recurring thoughts or feelings, or is coping with loss or major life changes, she works to identify the most appropriate path forward. When necessary, she will signpost to other specialists or professionals to ensure the best outcome.
Her practice blends psychodynamic insight, cognitive behavioural techniques, and humanistic person-centred principles, woven together with kindness, honesty, and compassion. Melanie uses a range of methods chosen to suit individual preferences, including talking therapy, visualisations, mindfulness, expressive arts and crafts, journaling, role-play, grounding exercises, symbolism, worksheets, and the use of SMART goals. These tools are offered as part of an individualised therapeutic process designed to build coping strategies and support meaningful change.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Melanie commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person’s own goals and values guide sessions - it can help with building self-esteem, exploring life purpose, and navigating relationship or attachment issues. CBT offers structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, obsessive patterns, and stress-related difficulties.
She also integrates Motivational Interviewing when people seek change but feel ambivalent; this collaborative style supports motivation and clarifies personal reasons for taking steps forward. Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapeutic process - Melanie works together with each person to find methods that fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences.
Online therapy with Melanie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access support from home or while balancing work and caregiving responsibilities. These formats provide flexibility in scheduling and allow people to engage in therapy in the way that feels most comfortable for them while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor the approach to each individual.
