Melanie | Psychotherapy

Introduction

I offer an experiential, body-centred approach, rooted in Hakomi somatic psychotherapy and enriched with Internal Family Systems (IFS). Unlike conventional talk therapy, which is largely conversation-based, this work focuses more on what is felt and experienced in the moment. By paying attention to sensations, emotions, and unconscious patterns as they arise, it creates the conditions for shifts to happen in real time—not just through insight, but through experience itself.

Hakomi and IFS blend contemplative wisdom traditions with modern neuroscience, offering a holistic and depth-oriented alternative to traditional therapy.

This approach can be particularly helpful for people working with trauma, struggling with emotional regulation, or feeling stuck in old patterns. Many find it valuable for self-exploration, deepening mind-body connection, and as a non-traditional path to growth, healing, and change. Sessions offer a supportive environment to slow down and tune into bodily sensations, emotions, and patterns that often remain beneath conscious awareness.

I hold a postgraduate diploma in psychotherapy and am a Hakomi graduate, continuing to refine my skills through supervision. I bring warmth, compassion, and a sense of lightness when needed, creating a space where exploration can unfold in a way that feels natural and at your own pace.
