Melissa Neckar

Hi, I’m Melissa and I’m a psychotherapist trainee. I have over a decade’s professional experience working with people in a supportive capacity first as a teacher and then as a life coach. Empathy, warmth and respect have always been at the heart of my work. As a counsellor I offer a calm and safe space where you can feel heard and understood. I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and adhere to their ethical code of practice.

I work from a Humanistic Integrative perspective which means I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches that value and encourage acceptance alongside personal growth. At the core of my work is warm regard for you as your own person and faith in your capacity to change and grow. My approach is flexible and shaped by your needs. If and where helpful, I may offer cognitive practices and simple mindfulness techniques to help you to better regulate thoughts and emotions. I am committed to building a collaborative and trusting relationship through which we can discover new meaning together.
