About me
I am Chazara Melody Founder of Peace of Mind Counselling Services that provides therapeutic support for individuals and couples who want a safe space to talk honestly, understand themselves more deeply and navigate the challenges they may be facing.
You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious or emotionally exhausted. Perhaps you’re experiencing difficulties within your relationship, struggling to communicate how you really feel, repeating patterns you don’t fully understand, navigating grief or a significant life change, or simply recognising that something in your life needs to change.
Through individual therapy, couples therapy and therapeutic group programmes, Peace of Mind offers different ways to access support depending on where you are and what you need.
My approach is integrative, which means therapy is shaped around you rather than following a one-size-fits-all model. Together, we can explore your emotions, relationships, experiences and patterns, while developing a deeper understanding of what may be happening beneath the surface.
At the heart of Peace of Mind is a simple belief: people need spaces where they feel safe enough to be honest.
You don't need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can start with where you are and work towards helping you understand what you feel, recognise what you need and ultimately restore your peace of mind.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
I also work with clients exploring relationship and attachment patterns, communication difficulties, emotional needs, identity and sense of self, life transitions, feeling stuck or disconnected, people-pleasing, boundaries and recurring patterns in relationships.
I support individuals who may not have a specific “problem” but want a deeper understanding of themselves, their emotions and the way they relate to others.
Within couples therapy, I support couples experiencing communication difficulties, emotional disconnection, recurring conflict, changes in intimacy, trust concerns and uncertainty about the future of their relationship.

Further Information
I offer both online and in-person therapy, providing a flexible space for you to access support in a way that works for you.
Alongside individual therapy, Peace of Mind Counselling Services also offers couples therapy and structured therapeutic group programmes throughout the year.
I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, particularly if you have never experienced counselling before. You don’t need to know exactly what you want to talk about or have everything figured out before getting in touch.
I offer a free 15-minute consultation where we can briefly discuss what has brought you to therapy, what you are looking for and whether I may be the right therapist to support you.
My aim is simple: to create a safe space for honest conversations, where you can feel seen, heard and supported as you work towards greater understanding, healthier relationships and restoring your peace of mind.
