5/5
I found Melanie on an internet search for Oxfordshire counselling 10 years ago.
I was drawn to what she had written on her website and thought she looked very kind. I wasn’t wrong!
Melanie is the most warm, welcoming and kind person. She is truly inspiring and clearly LOVES her job. Within 3 sessions I went from feeling completely helpless, angry and hopeless, to being back to my old happy go lucky self.
I have needed some more help recently and honestly, I feel that she has changed my life completely. I cannot believe how much I have changed with Melanie’s help in such a short space of time. She has helped me to work on my behaviours and thoughts to bring myself out of a terrible depression with associate agoraphobia and anxiety. I am now almost back to myself again, but happier than I have been in years. I avoided starting medication because of Melanie and I cannot thank her enough.
I felt completely safe under her guidance and encouraged that I was going to get better from day one. She is also a wonderful and inspiring human being that I feel fortunate to have met. She is super professional and just wants to help people get better.
My parter has also received some counselling from other therapists in Banbury and did not go to Melanie due to what we felt might be a conflict of interest. He can see a huge difference in the therapy I have received compared to his own.
I believe Melanie is not your average counsellor/therapist. She is not doing this for the money- that is clear.
Melanie is a cut above the rest.
