Hello, I’m John Melling and I’m a counsellor, a philosopher, and a gamer! I am passionate about supporting people managing anxiety and depression. Specialising in solution-focused and philosophical counselling, I also love to support fellow gamers that want to find a better balance between the many benefits of gaming and moving towards the future they desire.
I integrate elements of philosophy into my approach to therapeutic counselling. I invite you to engage in philosophical thought and discussion in relation to whatever you bring to the session. If we both agree this will be useful we will ask questions together to seek a better understanding .
Whether you need someone with a shared gaming background to understand what's bothering you, a philosophical mind to support you to discover your values, or just an empathetic, fun and friendly non-judgemental counsellor to listen, contact John at OP Counselling to find out more.
