Melissa Kasilian

I am available mornings, afternoons and some weeknights

Whether you have a clear understanding of what the current issues in your life are, or you just have a sense that something is just not quite right, and would like a better understanding of yourself, therapy can help you explore, clarify and address aspects of your life and emotions affecting you. Talking to a therapist in a safe and confidential space allows discussion of thought processes, unexplored emotions and patterns of behaviour in order to develop a deeper and more complete awareness of yourself. Therapy can help you make meaningful changes in your life with greater freedom, choice and understanding. 

I'm a firm believer there is not a ‘one shoe fits all’ approach when working with clients. As an integrative practitioner, I use a variety of counselling techniques, which I tailor to each individual based on their needs and circumstances. A vital component in my practice is developing a positive therapeutic relationship, building trust and honesty in a collaborative partnership so that you feel comfortable and supported as much as possible to explore yourself in depth and express your needs. 

I initially provide a free and informal phone consultation, which takes approximately 15 minutes to discuss your reasons for wanting to pursue therapy, and answer any questions and queries you may have.

The first session then gives us the chance to discuss in more depth what issues you are facing, and determine how you can best be supported. It is an important step to assess how we work together and whether fit for each other.
