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).

My passion is to support folks to live a shame-free and fulfilling life. No matter 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.

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.

I have experience of working with a diverse range of concerns and mental health diagnoses including anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation, also survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse. I have a particular interest in sexual and relationship health and well-being and how the therapeutic process can help in these areas. I am neurodivergent and queer affirming in my practice.

During our work together I will welcome you as you are, with no judgement. Irrespective of your thoughts, feelings, experiences and behaviours, they belong to you and I will accept them all equally. I will be open and honest throughout our sessions, supporting you in finding your own path through questions, reflection and empathy.

I currently have space in my practice to take on new clients over the age of 18 throughout the weekdays and evenings. Sessions can be via video, telephone or face to face in Helston, Cornwall.
