About Melanie
Melanie Crossley is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life changes. She uses a calm, direct style to make it easier to talk about hard topics. Melanie emphasises a non-judgemental space where people can say what they really feel.
She draws on Existential therapy to look at meaning, choice and personal responsibility when life feels overwhelming. That approach is used alongside Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening carefully and following the client’s lead.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to help people notice patterns, make clearer choices, and carry those choices into daily life. Melanie has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and offers practical, straightforward guidance rather than technical jargon.
Her manner is supportive and grounded. Typical issues she addresses include abandonment, attachment difficulties, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, mood disorders, narcissistic relationships, and post-traumatic stress. Conversations are paced to each person, with an emphasis on what is most useful right now.
People can expect a collaborative process where goals are revisited as needs change. Melanie encourages short-term focus when that helps, and longer work when deeper change is wanted. She supports people who are ready to take steps toward clearer thinking and steadier coping.

How Existential and Client-Centred Work Online
Existential therapy helps people think about what matters to them and the choices they face. It looks at meaning, responsibility and the feelings that come from life transitions, which can help with anxiety, loss and relationship questions. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises empathic listening and following the client’s agenda, helping people feel heard and understood as they find their own solutions.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods as the work progresses. This means sessions can be practical and short-term when needed, or more exploratory over time depending on the person’s aims.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for a fuller sense of the person; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging allow for brief check-ins, written reflection, or support that fits around work or family commitments. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity with fewer barriers to meeting regularly.
