About Melanie
Melanie McGee is a counsellor with six years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She supports people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and the ups and downs of life such as grief, addictions, bipolar challenges and ADHD. Melanie also works with concerns around self-esteem, anger, eating and body image, and issues related to LGBT identity.
Melanie believes clients know their own stories and brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to sessions.
Background and approach
She focuses on small, manageable steps and helps people build on their strengths. Conversations are intended to feel straightforward and useful rather than overly clinical. Her background includes five years of prior professional work and a current registration as NCPS.
That combination guides a structured yet flexible way of working that adapts to each person’s needs. Melanie aims to create space for people to reflect, learn coping skills, and try new habits. Typical sessions involve talking through current difficulties, identifying unhelpful patterns, and practising strategies to manage symptoms.
She gives clear explanations and offers tools you can use between sessions. The emphasis is on practical change and steady progress. Melanie accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How Melanie applies evidence-based methods online
Melanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she uses helps people learn skills to manage anxiety and panic attacks by practising breathing, grounding and coping exercises. These steps are short and concrete, so they are useful between sessions for immediate relief.Another approach involves looking at unhelpful thoughts and patterns that keep problems going. This method helps people notice thinking traps and try different, more helpful responses. It is often used for depression, low self-esteem, social anxiety and obsessive worries.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Melanie will discuss options with each person and choose strategies based on current needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative way to test what helps and adjust as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or let someone avoid being on camera if they prefer. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which formats are available before booking. Many people find that remote sessions help them keep momentum and apply skills in day-to-day situations.
