About Melanie
Melanie McGee is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and issues such as self-esteem, motivation and confidence. She also supports those facing grief, addictions, eating and body-image concerns, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Melanie works face to face with what people bring. She listens for the parts that feel stuck and the steps that feel possible. Sessions are practical and conversational. She treats the person as the expert on their life while offering tools and perspectives that can help.
Her approach uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and patterns. That can mean learning new ways to manage panic, practising responses to obsessive thoughts, or looking at how past hurts shape present choices. She explains methods plainly and practices them alongside the client.
Melanie has helped people cope with major life changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns and social anxiety. She also supports those working through forgiveness and rebuilding self-love after painful experiences. She pays attention to the everyday details that affect mood and coping.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. If someone is ready to begin, Melanie asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how best to proceed.
Approaches and how they translate to online work
Melanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on symptoms and behaviour. One common approach is practical skills training to manage anxiety and panic, which teaches breathing, grounding and short cognitive strategies to reduce immediate distress. This helps when feelings escalate and a person needs concrete ways to cope.Another strand of her work addresses obsessive thoughts and compulsions by helping people notice patterns and test different responses. That often involves guided exercises and short behavioural experiments to weaken unhelpful cycles. These approaches suit issues such as OCD symptoms, panic attacks and compulsive behaviours.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs and daily life. Clients and therapist decide together whether to focus on symptom reduction, skills practice, or understanding how past events shape current responses.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to reach international clients and to keep continuity of care when life becomes busy.
