About me

  • Hello and welcome to Helen-Melissa Counselling.

I offer face-to-face therapy. Online video-chat or telephone therapy is also available.

If you would like to book a consultation or have any questions, please get in touch.

Are you feeling anxious or stressed? Is life feeling overwhelming or too challenging? Perhaps you are needing help to overcome anxiety, panic attacks, depression, are suffering low self-confidence or are experiencing relationship, family or work difficulties?

Whatever your reason for counselling, call or email today to see how I can help.

I am a fully qualified, Registered BACP Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I work with both individuals and couples  and I offer the professional support you need when change feels too difficult to achieve alone.

As a counsellor, I provide a supportive and confidential therapy service. I will work collaboratively with you to address any current problems you are facing and together we may also work though any unresolved issues from the past. I will draw upon a range of different therapy models including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) depending on your individual needs. In this way you can hope to gain the most from therapy and achieve real results which stay with you.

I offer professional help for all kinds of emotional distress such as:

  • Anxiety
  • Stress
  • Panic Disorder
  • Generalised Anxiety Disorder
  • Relationship Issues
  • Family Issues
  • Anger Management
  • Feeling Sad
  • OCD
  • Low Self-esteem
  • Bereavement
  • Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
  • Physical Abuse
  • Emotional Abuse
  • Trauma
  • Divorce and Separation
  • Bipolar Disorder
  • Work Related Issues

Client Testimonials:

"I cannot thank Melissa enough for her support in helping me through a very difficult period of my life. She is so calm and reassuring and helped me to feel safe, trusted and understood. I could not recommend Melissa highly enough." J. Gosport.

"Working with Melissa was a real turning point in my life. She helped me to reflect and make sense of what was happening. I stopped feeling so helpless and I found ways to move my life forward...." A.M. Fareham.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy

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.
