About me and my therapy practice
First off I want to thank you for stopping by and taking the time to look at my profile. I am so glad that you are here. I am Melissa or Mel as some folks call me. I know going to therapy can be a little scary (okay a lot scary) and it can take a lot of energy to reach out. If you're nervous and feeling a little worried about opening up to a stranger. I totally get it. Getting help is really brave and I hope you recognize the level of courage it takes to even be reading this. I pride myself on creating a warm and comforting environment for every client I work with. I have worked with so many amazing women in my 10 years of being a therapist and it is truly my life's work and my purpose.
I specialize in women's mental health. I do a lot of work around anxiety, depression, disordered eating and low self-esteem. I also work with various women’s issues such as womb-based trauma. Which includes sexual assault/abuse, miscarriages, PCOS, infertility, endometriosis, PMS, PMDD. I work with a lot of different issues so please reach out and we can determine if we are a good fit for each other.
I am a holistic counsellor meaning that I pull from multiple theories and I strongly believe in the mind-body connection and will often incorporate (only if you are comfortable) body-based healing modalities such as meditation, breathe work, and EFT/tapping. I have my bachelor’s degree in human behaviour, my master’s degree in psychotherapy and I am a Level 2 EFT practitioner. I also have my level I certificate in Reality Therapy. I have been trained in play therapy, expressive arts, sand tray therapy, group therapy, motivational interviewing and stress management. I am also completing my qualification in nutrition.
I am from America where I originally trained as a psychotherapist, now I happily reside in Scotland. When I am not doing counselling related things I am usually hill walking, eating takeaways or attempting to keep my plants alive.
Practice description
Holistic Counselling for Women is a warm and empowering space for women to process, heal and just to exist. No judgements and no cold informal detached services around here. I am all about that warmth, connection, and empowerment. I want you to know that whatever you are going through, you don’t have to face it alone. I love seeing women living their best lives. I aspire to support women in all aspects of their life journey. Regardless of where you are at in your life right now, I will meet you there. I believe that you are the expert on your life and my role is to be a warm and compassionate guide helping you find your own power and heal yourself. All sessions are delivered over zoom.My first session
It can take awhile to find a therapist who is the right fit. I offer a free consultation with no obligations or strings attached. More of a casual chat over a cuppa.

About me and my therapy practice
Hello,
Thank you so much for stopping by my supervisor profile. My goal as a supervisor is to create a warm and grounded space where you can feel safe reflecting on your practice and processing challenging client situations. My supervision is relational based and I focus strongly on building connections with each supervisee. I deeply value vulnerability, empathy and collaboration in the supervision space. I believe our own clinical work is our best teacher.
I am responsive to your needs as a supervisee and I really honor the flow of a supervision session.I think being a counsellor can sometimes be awkward, clumsy, exhausting and amazing. I really like holding space for all of the nuances that come along with being a therapist. I am really responsive and accessible as a supervisor, making sure that supervisees feel held and supported.
Just a little bit about my background. I have been a therapist for 10 years. I have my bachelor’s degree in human behavior, master’s degree in counselling/psychotherapy. I am fully qualified to work with children and adults. I am a Level 2 EFT practitioner, I also have my Level I certificate in Reality Therapy. I have been trained in Play Therapy, Expressive Arts, Sand Tray Therapy, Group Therapy, Compassion Focussed Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I am currently finishing my qualification in nutrition.
I would absolutely love to hear from you if anything in my profile resonates with you. So please reach out.
I work with both counsellor trainees and more experienced practitioners.
Individual Supervision: 45£ per 50 minutes, 80£ per 90 Minutes
All supervision is delivered via zoom.
My first session
Finding a supervisor who resonates with you is so incredibly important. I offer a free consultation with no obligations or strings attached. More of a casual chat over a cuppa. This is just to see if we are a good fit for each other and what you are hoping to get out of supervision. This is done over zoom and usually lasts about 20 minutes.
