Trauma Therapy, Anxiety & Emotional Wellbeing Support
If you want to feel differently, something has to change. Not by forcing yourself, but by being supported differently.
When you are struggling with anxiety, trauma, PTSD, low mood, or emotional overwhelm, you can feel so alone, but there is help and a pathway towards the you that you want to be.
Many of the people I work with have tried therapy or counselling before, they have gained insight but still feel stuck.
And found that their anxiety, depression, or trauma responses continue despite great efforts to change.
You are not broken.
And you do not have to do this alone.
A Safe First Step
Many clients tell me that something begins to shift from our very first conversation.
Reaching out can feel daunting, especially if you are already overwhelmed, anxious, or exhausted.
Yet again and again, people say that making that first call was the moment things began to change.
Not because they were fixed. But because they finally felt understood, safe, and supported.
How My Trauma Therapy Approach Is Different
I offer trauma-informed therapy that works at both a nervous system and unconscious level.
Rather than focusing only on talking or coping strategies, I help you to:
- Reduce the emotional charge linked to past trauma
- Calm anxiety and stress responses held in the body
- Identify and soften unconscious patterns formed in childhood or during shock
- Release long-standing survival responses that keep you stuck
This approach often leads to real, felt change, not just insight.
Many clients notice meaningful shifts from session to session.
Rebuilding Self-Worth and Confidence
Seeking therapy is not selfish. It is an act of self-care and self-respect.
As your nervous system settles, many people experience:
- Greater emotional balance, calmness
- Improved confidence and self-trust
- Stronger, healthier relationships
- A renewed sense of calm and hope for the future
Client Experience
“I didn’t want to get out of bed or speak to anyone. Life felt unbearable. From the first session, I began to feel lighter. Within weeks, I was sleeping, socialising, and feeling hope again. I’m not finished, but I love life again.”

Contact UsI reached out to Melanie after an explosion in my personal life, I was at an all time low and struggling to get out of bed. I had a quick consultation over the phone and booked in, as soon as we had spoken and arranged an appointment, I somehow felt lighter. I immediately felt at ease once I met her and we got straight into what had happened, dealing with different aspects of what had happened. I had a lot of confidence in the therapy as without telling her I was struggling with a particular task she was asking me to do, she knew this already during the therapy. I left a different person after the first session, put into practise the things she had advised me to do and worked on the issues (these didn’t feel as bad anymore). After not thinking of anything else before my appointment, I hardly thought about the issues at all. I had a second and last session working out some remaining issues and I feel back to my good old self. I can’t thank her enough for the change in me and would absolutely recommend her to anyone. I would have been willing to spend hundreds to feel the way I did when I left her. Dee - August 2018 Dee Manchester 2018
My Coaching sessions with Mell have been extremely inspiring. She has triggered my self-belief in my capacity and capability to achieve. At the beginning of our sessions I had lost direction and my enthusiasm for life, but with her skill she helped me to find my own answers, clear stuck old beliefs and a happiness that I never thought possible. I would recommend Mell if you want your life to change hugely for the better !!! Howard. Howard S, Bury St Edmonds
My sessions with Melanie provided me with the tools that I needed to make clear achievable goals for myself both personally and professionally. I found my sessions with Mell surprisingly pleasant, for the first time I was able to make decisions for myself due to my increased confidence and clarity. I felt that I always progressed and was both productive and effective. This experience has changed my whole outlook on life and has given me the ability to take my life in any direction that I choose. I will always come back for Mell’s coaching. Portia X.
