Counsellor, Trainer and Writer.

Welcome! I'm Mel and I'm a UK-based counsellor, writer, trainer and workshop facilitator. I offer online counselling sessions, daytimes and evenings, via Zoom.
I'm an Integrative counsellor, which means I draw on different theories and am collaborative in my approach to best suit your needs. I am an Accredited member of the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) and I adhere to their ethical framework.
I'm passionate about helping people with all kinds of body image and food-related issues, and weight concerns, as well as self-esteem, confidence and self-worth issues. I work with depression, anxiety, work-related issues, and a broad spectrum of worries and problems people may face.
I've worked in the mental health sector for over ten years, and for eating disorder charities for over seven years. I work with eating disorders such as binge eating, bulimia, anorexia, "atypical" anorexia, ARFID, OSFED and more. But importantly, I also work with a much broader range of eating distress which may not fit the criteria for an eating disorder. Many people struggle with food worries and concerns, body image problems and weight concerns which would not be classed as eating disorders, but have a real impact on people's lives. I also have past lived experience of body image problems and eating anxieties. I've been there - I know how tough it can be. I would also say to anyone, from my personal and professional experience, no problem is too small and you absolutely are worthy of help.
To find out more about how I work with body image, disordered eating and eating disorders, click the relevant tabs above. I've also written various blogs on these topics which may be helpful.
I am neuro-affirmative, LGBT+ inclusive, trauma-informed and weight neutral - to find out more about this go to my counselling page. I have an BA (Hons) in Counselling and Therapeutic Practice, and an Advanced Diploma in Neurodiversity and Eating Disorders.
I also have experience of working in domestic abuse services, predominantly working with perpetrators of abuse, using behaviour change and anger management techniques.
Counselling sessions are online, and are for one hour. Normally we'd meet weekly in an ongoing timeslot which we'd arrange together. The price is £50 per session. To find out more, head to my counselling page, or contact me.
I also run workshops on body image and disordered eating - find out more here.
And I offer consultation sessions for counsellors, psychotherapists and other professionals, and organisations and media outlets - find out more here.
