About Mellissa
Mellissa Hamley is a counsellor who aims to help people who feel sad, anxious, overwhelmed or not quite themselves. She works with issues such as stress, depression, relationship difficulties and low self-esteem. Mellissa offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through what is happening now and what lies beneath it.
Mellissa uses an integrative style and adapts sessions to each person's needs. She listens closely and tries to see things from the client’s point of view.
Background and approach
Early meetings focus on understanding the immediate concern and practical ways to manage it. Over time sessions can go deeper if that feels right. Mellissa draws on approaches like Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic ideas to help people make sense of patterns and feelings.
She may also use hypnotherapy when appropriate. She has five years of experience and holds the NCPS credential. Mellissa works with people facing grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy and sexual issues, anger, career questions and a wide range of emotional struggles.
She also supports clients with autism and attachment concerns. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Mellissa practises in the United Kingdom and frames therapy as a collaborative process where clients set the pace and goals.

Approaches Mellissa 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
She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is practical and can be useful for anxiety, panic, phobias and low mood. Psychodynamic ideas are used at times to look at how past experiences shape current patterns and relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mellissa will talk through options and decide collaboratively what feels most useful for the client's goals and preferences. This means plans can change as someone learns more about themselves.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more practical. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that suits. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat or messaging can be a shorter way to check in or reflect between longer sessions, offering flexibility for different routines and needs.
