Melissa Jane, BACP

Melissa Jane is a United Kingdom based mental health professional with 15 years of experience supporting people through significant life challenges. She specialises in stress, anxiety, grief and loss, self-esteem and confidence, career difficulties, and navigating major life changes, and she also works with issues related to autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, cancer and end-of-life concerns, obsessions and compulsions, and women's issues.

Her practice is rooted in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, with a strong emphasis on a collaborative, person-centred way of working that places each individual’s priorities at the heart of therapy. Melissa integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) into her sessions to help clients identify and reshape unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and to develop practical coping strategies that support everyday functioning.

She adapts each session and treatment plan to reflect a client’s unique circumstances and goals, combining evidence-based techniques with a warm, supportive approach. Taking the first step can feel challenging, and Melissa acknowledges the courage involved in beginning therapy. She aims to support clients toward greater clarity, resilience, and wellbeing through tailored, goal-focused work.

Person-centred care and CBT for online support

Melissa Jane uses person-centred therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where clients set the pace and goals of their work - this approach helps when someone needs support exploring values, relationships, or self-esteem concerns. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), a practical, evidence-based method that helps people understand connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and develop strategies to manage anxiety, stress, and unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Melissa works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process often combines techniques so clients can try different tools and discover what helps them most.

Online therapy with Melissa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and fit therapy into a busy life while working with registered professionals and therapists who tailor sessions to individual circumstances.
