Melanie Michelson

During this time of social distancing and self-isolation I am offering therapy via telephone and Zoom to those who are seeking a place to talk. I am also currently offering fees on a sliding scale.  

Are you seeking a space where you are ‘allowed’ to be anything and share anything? You might be hoping to explore how anxiety, stress, depression and/or grief feel for you and the impact on your sense of self and your relationships with others. As a Person - Centred therapist my aim is to provide a genuine relationship with empathy and acceptance at the core and a space where we untangle current and past experiences to make sense of your innermost sensations and feelings. Over the years others' expectations and values may have meant you needed to modify your own responses and way of being to feel valued and noticed. 

I have worked with parents and carers who have sought help and support with raising young children and adolescents; issues such as self - harm, challenging behaviour, anger issues and bullying have been explored. I have also worked with women who are living with the effects anxiety, depression and grief have on their sense of selves; managing changes in their lives brought on by divorce and separation; and survivors of emotional abuse and sexual violence.  

Alongside my therapy practice in Kentish Town, I continue to work as a volunteer therapist with the Parent and Carers Counselling Service (PCCS), which offers free therapy to parents and carers of children in Camden schools. I previously volunteered as a therapist for CARIS Islington, a bereavement charity offering free therapy to adults. I feel very fortunate to be a practicing therapist in North London as I have access to wonderful local green spaces which enable me to offer clients the opportunity of outdoor therapy.

Thank you for visiting my profile page. I understand choosing a therapist and then making contact can feel like a huge step which is why I offer an initial telephone consultation, if this is something you'd find helpful.
