Mel was an absolute godsend to us. When my daughters school called us to say they were concerned for her mental wellbeing, I was completely thrown and had no idea what to do to help. Mel worked with her, patiently and on her level, and helped her through. She became like a friend to her, and my daughter really came out of her shell. I'm very grateful to Mel for helping us and would not hesitate to recommend her to work with children who are struggling.

I started seeing Melanie back in March. I struggled with anxiety over the basic things such as leaving the house! Melanie was great she came to my house, she was very patient and listened to everything I had to say and tailored each session to what I needed. The techniques she taught me over the 6 weeks have changed the way I deal with very day life. I used to find myself getting stressed out with the smallest of things and allowing it to fester and eventually blow up. Now I am able to control my feelings at the time and decide whether to worry about it or not - it's been a game changer! I cannot recommend Melanie enough very good at what she does and very personable! Thank you

Mel is amazing and an absolute miracle worker! First time around she helped me in building up my confidence from scratch. I was in a bad place mentally, and I was stuck in a job that I had no idea how to get out of. By the time those sessions ended, I was a different person hunting for a job that I knew I deserved. It was the first time I enjoyed job hunting! The second time Mel came to my rescue was more of a reminder that I am a capable and confident woman. I'd finally got the job but due to a 3 month notice period, I was slowly starting to doubt myself in addition I had some personal matters weighing me down but with a few sessions, Mel was there to guide me back to that place of self-belief. Mel is a natural, she has a way of making you feel completely at ease and opens your eyes to what deep, deep, deep down you know is true about yourself. That nagging sense of doubt is eradicated. It may try to creep back up on you, but Mel arms you with the mental tools you need to defeat it. She also has a sense of knowing, knowing when you're ready to spread your wings and fly free but she will always be there ready to catch you. She's just a call or email away.

Melanie has helped me numerous times over the last couple of years. She is so calming even when life feel chaotic, what I love most is even if you are her "main" client then she will acknowledge your family her in advice, after all it's not going to work if your recommendation is for 2 days complete alone time but you have small children. Melanie has amazing ways of thinking outside the box with her advice. She always goes up above and beyond, I've been a personal witness to this when she's been in the middle of something and a client rings, I get the nod and know she will be working for the next hour. She will always do her very best by you and give you Tailored advice to what ever your situation maybe. She is a very committed woman to her work and you'd be lucky to have her help you

I have no words to describe how amazing Mel is. I've seen how hard she's worked this year in her qualifications but in all honesty all this comes completely naturally to her; she listens, empathises and asks all the right questions to help you to try and find solutions and has helped me to find many techniques to try and help myself overcome the most challenging time in my life this year. Mel, you're not done with me yet I'm afraid you help me more than you know and you deserve all the success with this. Thank you so much

I have been studying for a few years now towards my accountancy qualifications. I am at the final hurdle, which has seemed to be harder than ever. I got myself into a cycle of studying literally ALL the time, not having time for anything else, putting my all into it and failing the exam by a couple of marks when the time came. Then I would beat myself up for that. Then along came Mel. Who to my horror tore up my study plan, and made me take a long look at what I was doing, and at how my own behaviour was contributing to my exam issues. She worked with me to study differently, and to look at myself differently. She made me give myself a break, and understand that it was OK to struggle, but also OK to take time for myself that didn't involve doing something for someone else. I listened to her, and low and behold I passed, with a really good mark! I would highly recommend Mel, she's very understanding and not once made me feel stupid, or dramatic - even when I was very clearly overreacting and getting overwhelmed. I also made a friend for life! Go Mel.
