Over the years, I have helped many people reach their goals, heal from trauma and overcome their difficulties. Making changes can be hard but improving our well being and truly connecting with the important things in life can make us feel fulfilled and increase satisfaction.

Do you feel anxious, worried or depressed? Sometimes life can be hard, and it can difficult to make sense of distressing thoughts and feelings, and heal from painful life events. Sometimes we might find ourselves stuck, and unable to move forward in the way that we wish to. Often talking to family and friends may be difficult for a number of reasons. This is when it can be helpful to talk to a trained professional who is unbiased and separate from your life. I will provide a safe, confidential space for you, underpinned by a supportive and empathic therapeutic relationship where we can work together on your difficulties.

Hi, I'm Melanie. Please read on if you are ready to heal from past events and let go of shame and negative beliefs that stop you from thriving. You are not your trauma, you are not broken or deficient, you have a right to heal. If you are frustrated with yourself, repeating patterns in life and relationships that you can't seem to change, I can help. You may even have turned to alcohol, drugs, food, etc, in order to deal with difficult feelings. That is okay, we can work on other ways to cope with life's difficulties. You are safe to bring all of you to our sessions. Let's work together to create the life you want.

Listen, I get it. Whether you're drowning in grief after losing your baby or pregnant again and terrified, this is hard! Maybe you're both—grieving while growing a new life. People keep saying stupid things like "at least you're pregnant again" or "everything happens for a reason" (seriously?!). You're stuck bouncing between overwhelming sadness and paralysing anxiety. Dreading every scan. Feeling guilty when you smile. Wondering if you'll ever feel "normal" again. Some days you can barely breathe. Your babyloss matters, whether it was yesterday or years ago and if you're pregnant after loss? That constant fear? It's real!

Many of us can be our own harshest critic...never feeling good enough, never feeling as if we are "enough", not wanted or unloveable...these thoughts understandably have a big impact on our wellbeing and day to day functioning. It's not just you that feels this way - many of us struggle with these thoughts and feelings at times, but particularly if we've experienced adversity or trauma, this may have become the "norm" in the way we think about ourselves. But this can change. And when we start to think about ourselves and relate differently to ourselves, the world feels like a much better place!
