Stories of Healing & Growth

Adult Client

"Truly grateful"

"Your encouragement and guidance have helped me more than words can express. I am truly grateful for everything you have done and for the positive impact you have had on my life. "
Younge person Client

"I enjoy life again"

"You’ve helped me to understand the craziest 12 months in a beautiful way…I always thought counselling would be a series of sad sessions, but I’ve had the best time. You’ve given me confidence, joy and encouragement to go back into the real world and enjoy life again."
Adult Client

"Wonderful Guidance"

"I have really enjoyed my therapy experience with Mel. She has been very supportive and has offered wonderful guidance and tools that have helped in my healing journey. I am looking forward to more sessions with Mel and would definitely recommend her as a brilliant therapist."
Young Person Client

"I have found myself again"

" I cannot put into words how grateful I am for everything you have done for me. You helped me find myself again. I could honestly not have asked for a better therapist. Thank you so much for all you have done for me."
Adult Client

"So Grateful"

"I wanted to sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your help over the past few weeks. You have changed the way I think about myself and have validated my feelings and emotions. I have struggled for so, so long, and now I may have a chance to be myself and be happy again."
Adult Client

"Highly recommended"

"I have loved my time with Mel, helping me and guiding me through my life struggles. She has been amazing, caring and very kind throughout….I highly recommend Mel to help anyone with any struggles or concerns."
Adult Client

"Tailored therapy"

"Everything was tailored to my needs and Mel was fantastic; she put me at ease straight away, explained things in depth and also made clear the input required from both of us. At no point was she judgmental or pushy"
Adult Client

A calm space

Mel was excellent at delving into the issues and assisting me in reaching a satisfactory conclusion. Mel has a quiet and calm demeanour and she was able to allow me time and space to explore all my problems and come to terms with the issues involved."
Young Person Client

"I trust Mel without question"

"I don’t trust many people, but Mel is without question the person I trust most outside my family… She can always be relied upon not to take things at face value and to see the best in every person. There are so many things which I would not have known about myself or things which I would not have told other people if it wasn’t for your encouragement and for that I am very grateful."
Parent of Young Person Client

I am so grateful!

"Thank you so much, Melanie - you were exactly what my daughter needed to support her through her anxieties and to help her understand how she processes people, situations and environments. Your approach was perfectly aligned to her needs - she felt listened to, validated and understood whilst also challenged and equipped with strategies to support her in more difficult times."

A great help!

"Wonderfull lady. Has been a great help so far!"
