About Melissa

Melissa Jane is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She has 15 years of experience supporting people with self-esteem, career worries and motivation. She aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where clients feel heard and understood.

She uses a person-centred, collaborative style. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs and wants to achieve. Practical tools are used alongside listening and reflection so people can try new ways of coping between meetings.

Background and approach

Melissa draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, using straightforward techniques to spot and rethink unhelpful thoughts and habits. She combines this with a sensitive approach when people are grieving or dealing with illness and end-of-life concerns. Her experience also includes work around autism and Asperger Syndrome, body image, cancer, hospice and end-of-life counselling, obsessions and compulsions, and women’s issues.

She adapts methods to suit different situations and personalities. Sessions can focus on short-term goals like reducing panic or building confidence, or on longer journeys such as navigating major life transitions. Melissa aims to help people gain clarity, build resilience and make practical changes that fit their everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Melissa often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavioural experiments. That approach is useful for anxiety, obsessive thinking and when someone wants clear, practical tools to reduce distress.

She also draws on a person-centred way of working, which means listening carefully and shaping sessions around each person’s priorities. This approach supports people who are grieving or navigating major life changes by giving them space to be heard and to set their own pace.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with the client and agree on methods that match goals and preferences. Plans are reviewed as progress is made and techniques are adjusted when needed.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation, while phone calls can fit into a busy day and need less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging can work for short check-ins, reflective writing exercises, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy around work, family or other commitments.
