MH Counselling & Therapy Durham

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, leaving you lost, anxious, sad or numb. Whether it's past experiences or present challenges, it's okay to seek extra support.

I'm Melanie, a qualified and accredited counsellor and therapist. My role is to provide a compassionate and accepting space where you can feel truly heard and understood. Together, we'll explore your emotions, helping you to work toward making sense of your experiences and find a path toward greater well-being.

I work with a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, and challenges specific to students.

As a humanistic integrative counsellor, I prioritise building a safe, trusting relationship with you, while incorporating various therapeutic approaches tailored to your needs.

For more information on how I might be able to help you, please visit my website.

With over fourteen years of experience in various support settings, including Victim Support, Durham University, and Citizens Advice, I bring a wealth of knowledge to my counselling practice. 

I spent four years as a Practice Counsellor in GP surgeries before fully dedicating my time to private practice, which I have now been running for over eight years.

I offer appointments face-to-face in central Durham, as well as online via Microsoft Teams, or by telephone. 

The core principles of counselling remain the same across all formats, though online and telephone therapy come with their own unique benefits and challenges. For more information, please visit my website or get in touch.

Taking the first step into therapy requires courage, and I’m here to support and guide you from the moment you reach out. I aim to make this journey as comfortable as possible for you.
