ABOUT ME
As a person-centred therapist I truly believe that everyone has the power within to grow and evolve into the most authentic version of themselves.
Hi, I’m Melissa (she/her).
I hold a Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy and am a registered member of the British Association for Counsellors & Psychotherapists. (BACP register number: 409560).
Primarily I work within the person-centred approach, however, I will naturally tailor our sessions to meet your individual needs as our therapeutic relationship develops; this could range from anxiety coping mechanisms to psycho-education. We often get stuck in certain ways of being and thinking, but I believe that by allowing yourself to be curious and delve into your thoughts deeper with a mental health professional it can have a huge impact on your emotional wellbeing.
My passion is to support folks to live a shame free and fulfilling life. I have experience of working with a diverse range of concerns and mental health diagnoses. I have a particular interest in sexual and relationship health and wellbeing and how the therapeutic process can help in these areas. I am neurodivergent and queer affirming in my practice.
I currently work with clients over the age of 18 in private practice from my home in Cornwall and offer therapy sessions online and over the phone.
No matter for the reason that you are seeking therapy, I would love to offer the time and space to collaborate with you in your journey of exploration and growth into the most authentic version of yourself.
THE THERAPY APPROACH
-
EMPATHY
Seems obvious right? But with true empathy is the ability to really try and understand the world as you, the client, feel and experience it.
-
UNCONDITIONAL POSTIVE REGARD
In other words, I accept you exactly as you are. No judgement. Irrespective of your thoughts, feelings, experiences and behaviours, they belong to you and I'll accept them all equally in our work together.
-
GENUINENESS
In our working relationship you'll see me for exactly who I am, my authentic self. I'll be open and honest with you throughout.
