If you’ve been feeling worn out by anxiety, tangled in constant overthinking, or quietly trying to hold everything together even when it feels heavy, you’re truly not alone. So many people move through the world looking capable while feeling stretched, tired, or unsure how much longer they can keep going. I support people navigating anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, and ADHD by offering a space filled with compassion, warmth, and no judgement. Together, we’ll gently explore what’s been weighing on your mind so you can feel seen, supported, and a little less alone.

I’m a qualified cognitive behavioural therapist with over 15 years of experience supporting adults with anxiety, stress, burnout, and emotional overwhelm. Alongside private practice, I work as a university counsellor, which has shown me just how much pressure people quietly carry. My lived experience of anxiety and stress is also part of why I do this work.

You don’t have to keep navigating this on your own or waiting until things reach breaking point. With the right support, it’s absolutely possible to feel calmer, clearer, and more in control of your life again. If you’re ready to explore this, I’d love to support you. To arrange a free 15-minute online consultation, please just get in touch.

Mel is everything I would want in a therapist; warm, supportive, but not afraid to challenge a statement or ask a client to question an assumption. She sees what is most important for you in the moment and acts on that. I have learnt a lot from her

Nazish Kazmi

I have worked with Mel for over 2 years now, and have learned much from her vast knowledge and experience in mental health. She will offer you a safe space with warmth and empathy where you will feel heard and held working towards your goals together.

I often use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and look at what you hope to achieve. With CBT, we will look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and behavior. During treatment, I will help you learn how to push back against those thoughts and change your feelings for the better.
