Melissa | Counsellor
Introduction
My name is Melissa,
My counselling work with women is gentle, reflective, and centres on what matters most to you. Through careful listening and shared exploration (I'm naturally very curious!), I support you in making sense of your experiences, reconnecting with your values, and finding ways forward that feel authentic and manageable.
If you are looking for a steady, respectful space where your experiences are taken seriously and your voice is central, you're welcome here. We can move gently or more actively, always guided by what feels safest and most supportive for you. I practice person-centred and narrative therapy. However, given the secular/humanistic nature of these modalities, I also offer counselling from a Christian perspective, should you prefer.
As a Christian myself, I want all of my clients to experience a calm, safe space where you can speak freely, feel deeply heard, and explore what's happening for you without judgement.
I work with women from all walks of life and issues
If you want to know more or make an appointment, feel free to contact me.

Specialisations and Expertises
Our first session will ascertain what issues need sorting through, establish goals (if any) and discuss expectations including duration of our time together.Most common issues I support people with:
Adoption resulting in feelings of rejection and/or identity issues.Loss/Grief of a loved one, pet or employment.
Church/Religious hurt and wanting to continue in their faith journey.
Domestic violence, for those who have left an abusive relationship and are in the beginning stages of rebuilding their life.
