Melanie Field

I currently only have availability weekday evenings Mon through till Thursday.

Hello, my name is Mel and I have 10yrs experience working as a counsellor. In that time I have worked with various ages from teenagers to older adults exploring a range of emotional challenges and life experiences.

My training focused on a Humanistic model. I offer a person-centred approach to help you understand yourself better, and my post graduate qualification specialises in working with people who have experienced trauma.

You may be looking for counselling because you feel your thoughts and feelings are stopping you live the life you want, or you want to understand more about your emotional responses to people or situations. Whatever it is, I believe you hold the answers to alleviate the difficult feelings you experience in life, but sometimes it can be hard to grasp what these are. I offer a time and space that can support you to explore these feelings, and as your self-awareness develops so does the potential to live a life that feels right for you.

I offer face to face counselling from a room in my home in Langport. My aim is to work with you to support you to understand what ever struggles you are having. Sometimes articulating yourself through conversation can be difficult so I also offer creative ways of working using a range of materials to help you express yourself. 

I offer a free face to face initial session. This is my time to ask some questions about what brings you to therapy to ensure I have the necessary knowledge to support your specific issue, and your opportunity to ask any questions you have about the therapeutic process and how I work.

If you decide that I am the person you feel comfortable enough to share your experiences with then we will discuss the boundaries of our relationship and a way to work together. The first session may have you experiencing a range of emotions, so whilst I have described what an initial session might look like we will go at a pace that suits you.
