Individual Support:
Counselling can be very powerful and helpful. With empathy, compassion and understanding, it provides the opportunity for you to unravel and understand what is going on for you, to make sense of things and be able to work through your worries and concerns.
Are you experiencing difficulties, fighting a constant internal battle within yourself? Perhaps, for whatever reason you feel unable to share or disclose your concerns with family friends, or colleagues? A counselling relationship can support you to understand and make sense of things. As your counsellor my intention is to ‘be alongside you’ – understand your world, question the status quo, help you to find your way, know that you have choices and ultimately be able to trust in your own decision making process moving forwards.

“Like lots of people, 2020 and 2021 were tricky years for me in terms of bereavement and struggling with a difficult job situation, anxiety, stress and depression. However, I am I so glad I found Melissa, and I’m very grateful for her calm, kind and warm presence throughout these difficult months. Thanks in no small part to her help, I am not only feeling much calmer and happier in myself now, but have come to understand why I felt this way, and learn strategies and ways of coping with challenges that may or may not arise in the future. I would highly recommend her as a counsellor – thank you very much again Melissa.” Client / 2021
