About Melanie

Melanie McGee works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and confidence. She says clients are the experts on their own stories and draws on their strengths to work through what is challenging. Melanie is registered with NCPS and has six years of experience in counselling work in the United Kingdom.

She focuses on practical conversations that help people manage current difficulties. Sessions look at thoughts, feelings and behaviours that keep problems going, and consider small changes that can reduce distress. Melanie also helps people cope with loss, addictive behaviours, and life transitions.

Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including anger, depression, ADHD, bipolar-related distress, and eating or body image issues. She works with social anxiety, phobias, panic, obsessive-compulsive patterns, guilt and shame, and problems connected to past trauma.

Melanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and concentrates on what works for each person. She aims to be straightforward and practical in session, helping people try out different ways of responding to difficulties and noticing what makes a difference.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How Melanie uses evidence-based techniques in online sessions

Melanie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, feelings and behaviour. One common approach looks at how thinking patterns influence mood and actions, helping people test new responses to worry and low mood; this can help with anxiety, panic and depression.

She also uses approaches aimed at processing trauma and its effects. These methods help people understand how past events affect current reactions and learn ways to reduce distress linked to traumatic memories and avoidance.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared task. Melanie works collaboratively to identify the best fit for a person’s goals and preferences, and she will review progress and adjust methods as needed.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to arrange brief check-ins, have a session between commitments, or avoid a long journey to an appointment.
