Hello, my name is Mel, I'm 49 and i live in west Yorkshire, I have been working in mental health and the world of therapy for over ten years now. It is one of my greatest passions when a person has the bravery to reach out and ask for support when they feel things are no longer working for them the way they are. I have worked in many different settings, from drug and alcohol support services, to supporting people with complex mental health hurdles and also working alongside people navigating their way through and around grief. I offer integrative therapy, that allows us to be really flexible in our approach.

I support individuals who may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or going through a difficult time in their lives. You might be struggling with your thoughts, relationships, or simply trying to make sense of how you’re feeling. What brings people to counselling is often a sense that something isn’t quite right—and a desire for things to feel different. In our work together, I offer a safe, supportive space where you can talk openly, gain clarity, and begin to move forward in a way that feels right for you. If this resonates, you’re welcome to reach out.

I offer a compassionate counselling service in Leeds, and online throughout the UK. I'm available to work with anyone who may feel lost, confused, sad or anxious. Together we can create a place of safety to discuss your life, and any issues you are experiencing. Therapy can give you tools to navigate through life's up and downs and can help strengthen your sense of self. I believe that our perceptions of our own brokenness can be viewed differently. That our flaws are what makes us unique, beautiful and wonderfully human.

It is rare to find someone who sincerely and genuinely cares, accepts us without judgement, or has true understanding empathy for us. People often tell us how we should feel or how they think we should deal with our situation, not theirs. Sometimes even with conditions, otherwise we face consequences. Thinking of what benefits them, not us. Looking at things from their perspective, not ours. This can lead to pressure to handle things in a way we do not want to and being in a place we do not want to be. Living an unhappy unfilled life where our feelings are ignored and unmet. Resulting in being in a very lonely isolated place.

Many people come to therapy feeling caught in recurring relationship patterns that are difficult to shift. Conversations may escalate quickly, or there may be a growing sense of distance, frustration, or emotional disconnection over time. These experiences often feel confusing and isolating, especially when they seem to repeat in similar ways. I work with adults who experience cycles of relationship conflict, anger or anxiety, and want to better understand what is happening beneath the surface.

Parenting Counsellors
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.

When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.

How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
