About Melanie

Melanie Crossley is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. Melanie aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement.

She encourages people to take small steps toward change and offers steady support along the way. Melanie uses a client-centred style that focuses on the person rather than only the problem.

Background and approach

In sessions she listens closely and reflects what she hears so people feel understood and clearer about their next steps. She also draws on existential ideas to help clients consider meaning, choice and responsibility when life feels confusing or stuck. People often come to her with issues around abandonment, attachment, divorce and separation, or feelings of guilt and shame.

She also works with loneliness, mood disorders, narcissism-related concerns and post-traumatic stress. Conversations are practical and grounded, with space for emotion and practical problem-solving. Sessions are paced to each person, and Melanie adapts her approach to what feels most useful.

Expect straightforward language, calm listening and gentle challenge when needed. Her aim is to help people build clearer self-understanding and more workable ways of coping. Therapy can be a short-term way to get through a crisis or a longer process to rethink life patterns.

Melanie supports people wherever they are in that process and helps them find steps that fit their daily life.

How Melanie’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of the therapist. It helps people feel heard and understood, and can be useful for anxiety, depression, relationship worries and responses to trauma. Existential Therapy encourages reflection on meaning, choice and responsibility, which can help when life changes feel overwhelming or when someone faces questions about identity and purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Melanie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client choose what helps most and adjust as the work progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between meetings or have shorter exchanges when a full session is not possible. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments, while keeping the focus on steady support and progress.
