Melanie Farnworth, BACP

Melanie Farnworth is a BACP member with four years of professional counselling experience in the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with loss and bereavement - including pet grief - as well as stress, anxiety, family conflict, low motivation, self-esteem and confidence issues, and depression. Her practice also includes helping clients navigate life changes and challenges related to ADHD and various caregiving and health-related concerns.

Melanie currently works with a cancer charity, providing counselling for people facing a diagnosis and for their families. In that role she offers practical and emotional support tailored to each person’s situation. She creates an open, non-judgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored and where clients are encouraged to identify their own strengths and next steps.

Her work draws on person-centred techniques, cognitive behavioural approaches, and transactional analysis to help clients find workable strategies and new perspectives. Melanie believes reaching out takes courage and that people have the capacity to move toward greater wellbeing. She aims to support and empower each person through a collaborative process, and she is willing to adjust scheduling if a suitable session time cannot be found.

Client-Centred and CBT Support Delivered Online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective and aims to create an accepting, empathetic space where clients can explore their feelings and values. This approach is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, grief, and adjusting to life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and develop practical coping skills. It is commonly used for anxiety, stress, depression, and difficulties with motivation and confidence.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Melanie collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and useful.

Online therapy with Melanie is offered by registered professionals and therapists through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options that fit different schedules and life demands. These formats make it easier to access support from home or while travelling and allow sessions to be arranged in ways that suit the client’s routine and comfort.
