Entering therapy can be daunting and a nerve racking experience. I offer a friendly and relaxed service, but don’t just take my word for it.

Here are some of my clients’ experiences of entering therapy. All notes and letters are published by kind permission of my clients.

“Being in therapy is really helping me. It’s my place to express myself. It allows me to understand myself more and aids my choices. Mel helps me to link up my thoughts and make sense of things. I already recommend her to people who ask me. If you think it might help it’s definitely worth booking that first appointment” - Gemma

“Mel, what can I say? This has got to be one of the hardest things I will ever write or do for that matter. You proved to me that counsellors aren’t scary as I thought they were. Well done you.

“I have had the best sessions with you. No matter how scary, funny, sad or serious, you were always supportive and more importantly you were always there and always listening; and I know what you’re thinking ‘It’s my job’ but it’s always been that little bit more, you know what I mean!

“I guess what I am trying to say is thank you for everything and it has been a pleasure to chat with you. And if I burst into tears I know it’s not weak, I’m just letting that sodding soul bird out (finally).” - Jude

“I’d like to thank you for all the help you have given me. You have helped me overcome so much and you have always been there when I needed help and support To me you are one of the only people who will ever understand me and I thank you for that Mel.  I will always remember your words of encouragement that helped me to conquer my fears and my feelings of being alone. Mel I think you’re a true inspiration and whatever I do in my life I will think of you. Good luck in the future.” - Anita

“I would just like to say thank you for everything. You have helped me so much and been like a friend to me. I know if I have any problems I can come back and see you. Hopefully I won’t need to (not in a bad way though). You have taught me a lot about myself and life. Thank you. Love from your ‘Toughest Cookie’” - Hope
