About Melanie
Melanie Lingley is a counsellor who helps people dealing with depression, stress and anxiety. She works with adults who are struggling with relationships, family tensions, self-esteem and life changes. Her style is calm and respectful and she aims to match each conversation to a person’s needs.
Melanie uses simple, steady support to help people take the next step. Melanie has nine years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom.
Background and approach
She uses a mix of approaches to suit different situations, including talking in a way that centres the person, practical thinking strategies, and moments of mindful awareness to reduce overwhelm. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, manageable steps.
Melanie will work with someone to build everyday skills for coping with low mood, worry, relationship struggles and major life changes. She pays attention to how past experiences affect present feelings and choices. Her qualification is NCPS, which is shown as a professional credential.
Sessions are offered in English and are arranged from the United Kingdom. Melanie aims to listen without judgement and to respond with straightforward, practical suggestions. People usually find that therapy is a process of trial and adjustment.
Melanie encourages regular check-ins on progress and will adapt methods as needed to keep work relevant and useful.

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
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Melanie treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss what feels most helpful based on someone’s concerns, goals and day-to-day life. She will adjust methods over time so sessions remain relevant and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls suit fuller face-to-face conversations, while phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow short, flexible contact during busy days and can help people keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring commitments and other responsibilities.
