About Melissa
Melissa Miller is a counsellor in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and big life changes. She holds a BA (hons) degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy and has around ten years of professional experience.

Her style is straightforward and person-focused. She listens closely and adapts sessions to what each person needs.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to make difficult feelings easier to understand and manage, and to build small skills that reduce day-to-day strain. Melissa uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a supportive, non-judgemental space. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, helping people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of coping.
Those approaches are used together to address symptoms and the situations that maintain them. She has worked with people affected by cancer and long-term illness, those coping with domestic abuse, and people experiencing family conflict or separation. Melissa is experienced supporting people through major life transitions and the grief that can follow.
Sessions are offered in English. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling is arranged through the site.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a warm, accepting space where the person leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and supports their own goals. It helps people feel heard and clearer about what matters to them.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical exercises to change those habits, which can reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and then suggest ways of working together. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit those who prefer writing, want frequent brief contact, or need support that fits around a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals use these options to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into everyday life.
