About Melanie
Melanie Crossley is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and depression. She works in the United Kingdom and brings three years of professional experience to each appointment. Melanie aims to make it easier to speak about hard things in a calm setting.
She encourages steady steps toward feeling more able and connected. Melanie uses a client-centred way of working that puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions.
Background and approach
She listens without judgement and follows what matters most to the client. This approach suits people who need time to make sense of feelings and to feel heard before planning next steps. She also draws on existential ideas to help people consider meaning, choice and values when life feels uncertain.
Those perspectives can be useful for coping with loss, major changes, or questions about direction and purpose. In sessions Melanie focuses on practical conversation and emotional support. She helps people name difficult feelings, spot patterns, and try small, manageable changes.
She aims to support clients who are ready to take action at their own pace. Sessions are offered in English and available online by several formats. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that suits the client.
The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches Melanie lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and values. It helps people facing big life changes, loss, or uncertainty to weigh options and find what matters to them. This can be useful when someone feels stuck or unclear about their next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Melanie will talk with each client about what they want to achieve and which methods might help. Together they decide on goals and try out ways of working that feel comfortable and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for a fuller conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexible, shorter exchanges that can fit around busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life while keeping focus on practical progress and emotional support.
