About me


"A problem shared is a problem halved"

I’m Melissa. For over 25 years, I’ve supported people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or a sense of being stuck, lost, or unmotivated in life. My work is grounded in compassion, experience, and trust, and I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals and organisations including Google UK, Airbus, and the UN EU.


My professional journey began in mental health nursing (RMN). Since then, I’ve continued to develop my practice through advanced training in Counselling (Level 7), Relationship Coaching, and EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), also known as tapping.


By integrating counselling, relationship coaching, therapeutic approaches, and EFT, I help you gently release what’s weighing you down. The aim is simple: to help you feel calmer, lighter, and more in control of your life again.🙂



I understand that choosing who to work with comes down to trust. I focus on clear communication, honest expectations, and consistent follow-through so you always know exactly where things stand. My clients trust me because I treat their goals like my own.



If you’re ready to breathe easier, sleep deeper, and feel more like yourself again, I’d love to support you on that journey with my mental health coaching.



My qualifications include:

- Registered Mental Health Nurse

- Relationship Coaching and Level 7 Counselling Diploma

- Registered PTLSS Tutor

- Diploma in Nutritional Therapy

- EFT Accredited Practitioner

- SCENAR Therapist

- ITEC in Massage

- BACP Safe Provision of Online Counselling - Open University Course

- Ericksonian Hypnotherapy Certification

My Approach

Therapeutic services offering caring, reliable support with free online consultation.

Consultation is via video conference which is the closest thing to face to face interviews. We can use Google Meet or WhatsApp on a laptop or on your mobile. Easy and confidential.



My approach combines traditional counselling techniques with innovative therapies, including my role as an EFT Practitioner, to ensure a tailored experience for each individual. 

Fee for 60 mins session: £48 / €55.

5 Reasons to work with me

1️⃣ Struggling to Heal on Your Own

You’ve tried to tackle the issue yourself, but something feels out of reach—a blind spot you just can’t see. Sometimes our challenges are too close, tangled up with our fears and identity, to fully understand alone. This is where **counselling services** can provide the support you need.


2️⃣ The Pain Feels Too Big to Face

Some experiences—trauma, grief, or fear—can feel overwhelming to navigate alone. With the guidance of an experienced **EFT practitioner**, you can face these feelings safely and make real progress.


3️⃣ Avoiding What’s Holding You Back

You know it’s there—a fear, grief, or past trauma—but you keep putting it off. With a little help from **mental health coaching**, you can gain perspective, uncover the root cause, and release what’s keeping you stuck.


4️⃣ Lingering Anger or Resentment

Even if you feel mostly at peace, anger or resentment toward someone may remain. These are often hidden aspects you haven’t yet identified. I can help you uncover, process, and release them through effective counselling services, freeing yourself from old emotions.


5️⃣ Feeling Stuck on Your Goals

Do you want to achieve your dreams but can’t figure out what’s holding you back? By identifying inner blocks, limiting beliefs, and past experiences with the help of an **EFT practitioner**, you can move forward with confidence and clarity.
