About me and my therapy practice
My names Melanie , an experienced Psychotherapist and Counsellor working with children, teenagers and adults. My specialism is working with teenagers and young people. I help people struggling with anxiety, depression, panic disorder, anger management, social anxiety, suicidal thoughts and feeling sad.
I am an Integrative Counsellor where I draw upon many approaches Play Therapy , Trauma Focused, Person Centred, Psychodynamic, Gestalt and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
I work with children and young people who are struggling with mental health issues that manifest in the form of anxiety, depression, low self esteem.
During our sessions we will explore and address unhelpful thinking patterns : along with digging deeper into the root causes and triggers. Moving forwards week by week, lifting symptoms and overall wellbeing.
It takes courage to reach out and ask for support, so its important to find a therapist you feel comfortable with.
Practice description
I have extensive experience working with children and young people however I have also thoroughly enjoyed working with adults too. I have worked in secondary schools for the last ten years supporting children with challenging behaviour, low self - esteem, anxiety and ADHD/ASD .
I worked at Phoenix Counselling Services for two years on a placement where I gained an immense passion for helping people. I also worked at MID Mediation and Counselling for 2 years supporting children after their parents separate or divorce.
I will provide you with a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space to help you explore your thoughts ,feelings and behaviour. Which will enable you to have a greater awareness of yourself and improve relationships with others.
