Melina Therapy

Welcome to Melina Therapy, home to  private and confidential counselling, coaching and wellness therapy. Encompassing 30 years' of my experience working  within mental health, with clients, who have presented with a wide range of emotional, relationship and lifestyle issues, from anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, to more complex childhood issues and trauma.

I have expertise in addictions, relationships, sexual assault, rape, trauma and PTSD. With experience of working with children, young people, adults, families and group dynamics.

I offer Integrated Therapy from a Trauma Informed Practice, so you can feel safe and supported with your emotional and psychological care and wellbeing. I take an holistic approach to treat the person as a 'whole' rather than just the issues that they are presenting with.

I provide single session, 

short to longer term therapy, to enable each client to work at a pace and duration that suits them. 

Integrating counselling with coaching  techniques and mindfulness interventions, to develop grounding techniques, peace, calmness and healthy mind and body connections.

I believe that when it comes to your mental health and wellbeing, it is important that you have a qualified, experienced and knowledgeable professional you can turn to.

 At any time in our lives we may experience difficult and overwhelming emotions. Whether it is from recent events or triggered from unresolved issues linked to our past. Whether we are feeling stuck and fearful of change or unhappy with certain lifestyle choices.

 At Melina Therapy, I can offer you the emotional support and guidance that you need, to heal, make healthy choices and become sound again. 

I understand that attending therapy can seem daunting. However, it means that you don't have to feel like you have to solve your problems alone anymore. We all need a little bit of additional help and support at times. And talking to someone who is  professionally trained but impartial, can really help.

You will be received with warmth, acceptance and authenticity to enable you to be open and honest to explore and be your true self.

Melina Therapy is a safe space, without fear of being judged, where you will be listened to without distractions and have time to reflect and decompress. Enabling you to make sense of confusing emotions and gain a sense of clarity to find positive ways forward. 

Invest in yourself and your mental health.

 Finding the therapist, who feels 'right' for you, is very important to feel empathy and build trust and rapport within the therapy relationship. To feel safe and supported to explore painful and sensitive issues that you may have supressed or not been able to talk about before. Melina Therapy is a trauma informed practice, where I have had extensive experience and training working directly with the impact of trauma. 

 I work from an Integrative approach, which is drawn from a unique blend of modalities, including; Person Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness, Neuro Linguistic Programming and Solution Focused Therapy. As each person is unique, I create bespoke individualised therapy and support to meet each persons needs.

As pain, fear and anxiety sits in our mind and body and may express itself through our behaviours I may introduce techniques and interventions to manage stress and depression more effectively and so that you can maintain your wellbeing post therapy.
