About Mellissa Hamley

Mellissa Hamley is an integrative counsellor who supports people feeling sad, anxious, or generally not like themselves. She works collaboratively with each person to untangle what is happening in their life, offering a calm, nonjudgmental space to explore both immediate concerns and deeper patterns. Mellissa adapts her methods to suit individual needs rather than relying on a single model, drawing on her training and NCPS credential, which reflects professional preparation in counselling and psychotherapy.

In early sessions she focuses on understanding the current issue and on listening carefully to each person’s experience. Over time, when a client is ready, she may explore underlying themes and relational patterns that influence well-being. Mellissa aims to see the world from the client’s point of view, helping people discover their own solutions, develop acceptance where needed, and take steps forward.

Her approach emphasizes partnership rather than direction - she does not tell clients what to do but provides support, reflection, and practical guidance so they can make choices that fit their life and values. She welcomes people seeking help with stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, grief, trauma, and other life changes.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person from their own perspective, creating a respectful, empathetic space where people can explore feelings and make choices that align with their values. It is often helpful for issues related to self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT can be effective for anxiety, depression, panic, and phobias by teaching skills that can be practiced between sessions.

Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to support changes in perception, habits, or reactions and can be offered alongside other approaches when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Mellissa works collaboratively with each person and with registered professionals as needed to decide which methods best match a client’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances. This collaborative process helps shape a tailored plan that can evolve over time.

Online therapy makes it easier to access regular support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel time, and allow people to engage in therapy from environments that feel comfortable to them while still working toward meaningful change.
