About Melissa
Melissa Jane is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She supports those managing career difficulties, loss, and major life changes. Her approach is collaborative and respectful, aimed at practical steps people can use day to day.
Melissa draws on 15 years of experience and works from a person-centred stance. She focuses on listening and understanding each person’s situation before suggesting ways forward.
Background and approach
Sessions are tailored to the individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT is used to build clearer thinking and simple strategies for coping with anxiety, obsessions, or difficulties with motivation and confidence.
Melissa has additional focus areas that include autism and Asperger syndrome, body image concerns, cancer and hospice or end-of-life counselling, and obsessions, compulsions, and OCD. She aims to make practical plans that fit around each person’s life and goals. Beginning therapy can feel daunting and Melissa acknowledges that step.
She supports people in finding clarity, improving resilience, and working toward realistic goals. Her sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what will help most now.

How Melissa works online
She also draws on a person-centred approach that stresses listening and collaboration. This approach helps people feel heard and ensures the work reflects their goals and values rather than a fixed protocol.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through a client’s needs, goals and preferences and then agree what to try first. If something isn’t helping, the plan can be adjusted to better fit the person’s situation.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by avoiding travel and allowing appointments around work or family schedules. Different ways of meeting have practical pros and cons, so confirm the specific session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to support progress when a collaborative plan and clear goals are in place.
