About Me
Hello, I am Melissa and I offer holistic counselling from a private and cosy room on the edge of the Peak District National Park in Marsden or we can connect online or outside in nature. My practice is based on the values of kindness, safety, integrity, co-creation and holism. I believe that when we feel safe and held in relationship we feel safe to listen to our felt-sense and intuition to source meaning, growth and fulfilment in our lives.
I offer a confidential client-led space where we can weave together traditional talking therapies with somatic and creative approaches such as clay work, poetry, mark-making, vision quests, breathwork, Indian head massage and reiki. I can support you to connect to your process at a pace and depth that feels right for you.
All my offerings are underpinned with heart and I am committed to co-creating a relationship and space where you feel safe to explore your needs and self-expression. The therapeutic approaches that most inform my work are person-centred, existential, and transpersonal. I am a non-pathologising, holistic and trauma aware practitioner who honours your journey and your wisdom. I work holistically with the body, mind and spirit.
I offer a free 20 minute introductory call for us to explore whether working together is the right next step for you.
