About Melanie
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 3 years of professional experience. Melanie Crossley focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. She uses Client-Centred and Existential approaches to help people talk through what's happening and consider next steps.
Melanie keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She listens for what matters most to each person and reflects back what she hears. This helps clarify patterns such as attachment worries, abandonment fears, or repeated conflict that leave someone feeling stuck.
Her work includes practical conversations about feelings and behaviour. Melanie will talk through ways to manage panic or low mood, to cope with separation and divorce, and to handle isolation or guilt. She also discusses how past trauma and narcissistic dynamics can affect daily life.
Sessions are led by the person attending, with the counsellor offering questions, observations and gentle challenges when they help move things forward. Existential ideas are used to look at meaning, values and choices. Client-centred methods are used to follow what the person brings and to build a trusting working relationship.
Melanie notes that people take different amounts of time to feel comfortable in therapy. She aims to work at a pace people can manage, reviewing progress as they go. To start, she asks people to use the site matching tool and schedule a first session so they can discuss practical arrangements and goals.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says so they can find their own solutions. Online sessions using this approach aim to keep conversations centred on the person’s concerns and pace, helping with anxiety, low mood and relationship problems.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and values. In an online setting this can help people facing life changes, separation or questions about direction by discussing what matters and what options exist.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss how these methods might fit the person’s needs, goals and preferences, and will adjust the way they work together as those needs become clearer. The decision about approach is collaborative rather than fixed.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, shorter check-ins and quieter surroundings, or to avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help therapy fit into everyday life without promising a particular format.
