You may be the person everyone relies on while privately feeling anxious, overwhelmed or exhausted. Perhaps you’re burned out, navigating a major life change, or finding that the strategies that once helped aren’t working anymore. Hi, I’m Melanie, a BACP accredited therapist passionate about working with adults and young adults experiencing anxiety and life changes. I also work with children and adolescents experiencing anxiety, big emotions, low self-esteem or difficult transitions. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or your child, therapy can provide a space to understand what’s happening and find a way forward.
I work with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, burnout, trauma and difficult life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative and practical, drawing on evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches. With children and adolescents, I use developmentally appropriate and play-based methods to support emotional expression, coping and communication.
Asking for help can feel difficult, especially when you’re used to coping on your own or you’re a parent unsure how best to support your child. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can begin by understanding what’s happening and what you hope could feel different.
