How Melanie’s approaches work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is heard and helps the person feel understood. This approach is useful for people who need a non-judgemental space to talk about anxiety, depression or relationship worries.Existential therapy looks at choices, meaning and responsibility in life. It helps when someone feels stuck, uncertain about direction, or overwhelmed by change. Conversations can centre on values and how to live in a way that feels more authentic.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. Melanie will talk about goals and preferences and try ways of working that suit each person. The process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a quick check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family or travel commitments.
