About me and my therapy practice
Melanie Hudson - MH Durham Counselling & Psychotherapy
You may be looking for a counsellor for a variety of reasons. Events may have occurred that have left you feeling confused, overwhelmed, sad or afraid.
We all need a bit of extra help at times and counselling can be a place for you to make sense of what you are experiencing, make positive changes in your life and increase your sense of well-being.
I will assist you in doing this by providing a space where you feel heard and understood. Where you're met with compassion and acceptance as I help you to make sense of your emotions so that life can begin to feel easier.
I am a humanistic integrative counsellor. This means that I place the building of a safe and trusting relationship with you central to our work, whilst integrating other approaches which I feel may be of benefit to you.
Please visit my website for more information on how I might be able to help you.
Practice description
I have over fourteen years of experience working in a variety of support settings. These include Victim Support, Durham University, and Citizens Advice. I spent four years as a Practice Counsellor in GP Surgeries. I now dedicate my time to Private Practice. My private therapy practice has been running for over six years.
I offer appointments face-to-face, online (via Microsoft Teams) or by telephone. The same counselling principles apply to online and telephone therapy as they do with in-person counselling. However, there are additional advantages and disadvantages to accessing therapy in this way. Please visit my website for more information or contact me.
My first session
It can take a lot of courage to make the first steps into therapy. My aim is to make that process as comfortable for you as possible. Please visit the FAQ page on my website for information about what to expect from the initial session.
