Melanie Ayers

I will be on annual leave from 25th July until 3rd August.

I am a CBT therapist. I use kindness to listen with compassion, offering a warm, secure and healing relationship that will support you through any changes you feel are necessary to get the very best from life. When a gentle challenge is needed I can bring insight and tenderness to help smooth the way. 

I offer therapy to adults, couples and children. I am also a clinical supervisor. My therapy suite is spacious and private. I maintain social distancing and sanitise everything that can be touched in between sessions.

I also offer video and telehone counselling sessions.

The first session will involve welcoming you to the room, introducing myself and CBT, and hearing what your goals for therapy are. In this session I expect to also detail my treatment plan and the rationale behind it.

There is no pressure to go on to book further sessions.

I am on annual leave from 25th July to 3rd August.

My core modality is CBT and I also incorporate Person Centred and Gilbert's compassion focused therapy. I enjoy providing a creative and reflective space to explore client material, also with an eye on therapist development, both personal and professional.

I have been in private practise for nearly ten years. My therapy suite is private, spacious and comfortable. 

During the fist session we will introduce ourselves, explore supervison needs and negotiate a contract.
