Melanie Roberts

I am a qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor & Life Coach, providing clients with a calm and confidential space, to talk through the struggles they are experiencing.  I will support you as you leave no stone unturned exploring how you feel, increasing your self-awareness and gaining focus.

Depending on whether on whether you are having Counselling or Life Coaching sessions - I work with a number of therapeutic/coaching approaches which enables me to tailor sessions to suit the needs of each individual client and helps build our working relationship.

I may sometimes introduce creative techniques alongside my talking therapies, all of which would only be introduced with the clients full agreement and only where it is considered to be of therapeutic/coaching benefit.

My private therapy room is in central West Byfleet (Surrey), which is easily accessible by train, bus or car from surrounding towns and villages.  

Prior to setting up my private practice I had previously gained experience working as a counsellor in a community counselling service.  I have also worked in a debt counselling service, provided student counselling at a local college and as a therapist at a private psychiatric hospital.

In previous work roles as a manager, I have gained a wealth of experience in training and developing staff, as I helped to guide, coach and motivate them to move forward with their careers and provided emotional support when needed.  I find I can draw on this experience when when clients need support with issues such as work stress, workplace bullying, low confidence and career building for example.   

I provide time in sessions to listen to clients issues and space to work these through.
