Melina Therapy UK & International Online Therapy

Welcome to Melina Therapy, I offer calm, grounded trauma-informed counselling therapy for moments when you are feeling overwhelmed, under pressure, or carrying more than feels easy to hold.   

A space to pause, reflect and come back to yourself. Where we work at your pace, gently exploring what feels present and what may be sitting beneath it.

With over 28 years' clinical experience supporting clients emotionally and helping them to heal, reconnect with themselves, their relationships and their sense of wellbeing.

You may be experiencing anxiety, bereavement, relationship difficulties, work stress or emotional overwhelm. Sometimes there is a clear reason for how you are feeling and sometimes it can be harder to put into words. At Melina Therapy I offer space for both. 

Trauma-informed - alongside my general practice, I am a trauma specialist counsellor and I have extensive experience working with addictions and survivors of sexual abuse, sexual violence and other experiences that can have lasting impact on your emotional wellbeing and relationships.

Mind to Body Healing - I am an integrative therapist and my approach combines a unique blend of therapeutic approaches with practical interventions and mind-body self-regulation. Drawing on neuroscience and evidence-based therapies, mindfulness, breathwork and meditation. I believe healing begins when the mind is understood and the body feels safe.

Relationships and Connection - for couples, family members and other close connections, I other emotionally focused relationship counselling and coaching to improve communication, strengthen connection and develop a better understanding of each other. A safe space to explore conflict, rebuild trust, work through feelings of hurt or betrayal, and find new was of relating and moving forward.

Coaching - for clients who want to prioritise direction and wellbeing, I offer personalised life coaching - to help clarify your goals, make sustainable lifestyle changes and create greater alignment with your values and future aspirations. This can also support more grounded and healthier daily habits and routines.

I provide online therapy offering professional support from the comfort and privacy of your own space. Working online makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still creating a meaningful, consistent and supportive therapeutic relationship.

I offer accessible therapy, whether you are living in the UK, internationally or travelling frequently. This can support those working remotely, expats or those navigating the pressures of a demanding career, family, relationships or everyday life.

I am English-Italian and my own lived experience has shaped a deep respect for identity, culture and belonging. I am passionate about working with clients from diverse backgrounds and offer a culturally sensitive, inclusive space where your story is heard and respected. I am particularly drawn to those who feel isolated, displaced or marginalised. Also, those who have questions about their identity or belonging.

In my practice, I help clients explore and make sense of their past, while supporting greater presence and ease through mindfulness  grounding and trauma-recovery healing - to experiences that may still feel emotionally present. 

This therapeutic work supports meaning-making from the past, trauma integration and greater regulation and internal balance in the present.

When you need your voice to be heard and listened to, therapy can help make sense of what's been building up internally and bring greater clarity, steadiness and understanding. 

Melina therapy unfolds at a pace that prioritises safety, trust and what feels possible. Whether you are reaching out for the first time or returning to therapy after some time away, you are welcome here.
