Melissa Jane , BACP

Melissa Jane is a United Kingdom based therapist with 15 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges, including stress, anxiety, grief, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, career difficulties, and major life transitions. She brings a compassionate, respectful, and person-centred way of working that prioritises the individual’s strengths and goals.

Trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Melissa uses practical, evidence-informed strategies to help clients understand and shift unhelpful thoughts, behaviours, and coping patterns. She combines this with a collaborative, person-centred stance so that each plan of work is shaped around the client’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Melissa also holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects a commitment to professional standards in counselling practice.

Sessions are tailored to the person’s circumstances and aims, with an emphasis on building clarity, resilience, and everyday tools that support longer-term well-being. Melissa recognises how courageous it can be to seek help and aims to create a supportive environment where people can explore concerns and develop clear, achievable ways forward.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online support

Melissa Jane commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and a person-centred approach in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, stress, obsessive thoughts, and low mood. The person-centred approach emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, helping people feel heard and supported while they explore values, identity, and personal goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Melissa works collaboratively with clients to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the focus as therapy progresses so the plan remains relevant and useful.

Online therapy with Melissa is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit sessions around work, caregiving, and travel. These options make it easier to access support from home or elsewhere, maintain continuity when life changes, and select the communication style that feels most comfortable for the individual.
