About Melanie

Melanie Lingley is a counsellor with nine years of experience who works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. She also helps with relationship and family tensions, self‑esteem and confidence, and problems stemming from trauma and abuse. Her style is warm and respectful, and she aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable.

Melanie adapts conversations and the plan of work to each person’s needs.

Background and approach

She uses straightforward tools to help people manage worry and strong emotions. Sessions focus on small, practical changes alongside deeper reflection when that feels helpful. She draws on client-centred methods to keep the person’s priorities central.

Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify thinking and behaviour patterns that maintain distress. Mindfulness practices are offered to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept up by them. Melanie also brings psychodynamic ideas into longer conversations, helping people see how past patterns shape current relationships and choices.

That approach can be useful for issues like attachment, grief and repeating relationship difficulties. She is registered with NCPS and works from the United Kingdom. Conversations are held in English and can be arranged in formats that fit a person’s life.

Melanie aims to create a calm, steady space where people can make changes at their own pace.

How Melanie's approaches work online

Client‑centred work places the person’s concerns at the centre of each session. The therapist listens for what matters most and shapes conversations around those priorities to help people feel heard and understood.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. In online sessions Melanie uses simple exercises to test beliefs and try small behavioural changes that reduce worry and low mood.

Mindfulness therapy teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting carried away by them. Short mindfulness practices are easy to try during a phone call or video session and can help with anxiety and stress regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Melanie will discuss options and agree a plan together based on someone’s goals and preferences. The choice of method can change over time as needs shift.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people build a face‑to‑face connection from home, phone sessions suit those with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text messaging can support brief check‑ins or moments between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
