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!

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.

I am recognised by Aviva, Vitality Health, and WPA for insurance coverage.
My ideal client feels stuck or overwhelmed in life. They might be dealing with grief, exploring their identity, or struggling in relationships. They want a safe space to express themselves without judgment. They seek confidence, balance, and peace. They want to understand their emotions and find practical ways to move forward. Most importantly, they seek support to face their challenges and regain hope.

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!
