How Melissa's Approaches Work Online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience without judgement. The therapist listens closely and helps people find their own solutions, which often suits issues like grief, low self-esteem and relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and simple strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for anxiety, stress and life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Melissa will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and try different ways of working until a good fit is found. That decision is made together and can change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people see facial cues and have more in-depth conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, ongoing reflection or when people prefer not to be on camera. These options provide flexibility to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving and other commitments.
