Evidence-based techniques and online support
Melissa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that translate well to online formats. One approach focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, helping people develop practical strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and mood difficulties. Another approach emphasises careful processing of traumatic experiences and grief through guided exploration and stabilising skills, aimed at reducing distress and improving emotional coping. Both approaches rely on structured, research-informed methods tailored to the individual.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and the therapist will help determine which techniques are the best fit for each person’s situation. This collaborative planning allows registered professionals to adapt sessions to what works best for the client.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles. These formats support consistent access to care and allow therapists to deliver focused, evidence-based support without requiring in-person appointments.
