Melanie Farnworth, BACP

Melanie Farnworth is a BACP member based in the United Kingdom with 4 years of clinical experience supporting people through loss, bereavement and a range of emotional challenges. She works with individuals experiencing pet grief, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, low motivation, low self-esteem, confidence issues and depression, helping them find practical ways to cope and move forward.

Melanie currently provides counselling through a cancer charity, where she supports people facing a diagnosis and their families. That role has deepened her experience with illness-related concerns, caregiver stress, end-of-life issues and the complex emotions that arise when health changes a family dynamic. She creates a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored openly.

Her therapeutic practice draws on person-centred techniques, which prioritise the client’s own goals and pace, alongside cognitive behavioural techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour. She also uses elements of transactional analysis to explore patterns in relationships and communication. Melanie describes therapy as a collaborative process and seeks to empower people to take the first steps toward positive change.

Melanie accepts new clients, including international clients, and offers flexible scheduling to accommodate differing needs. As a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she follows recognised professional standards for counselling practice.
