About Mellissa Hamley
In sessions she aims to understand both the issue that brings someone to therapy and the wider context of their life. Early meetings typically focus on clarifying immediate worries and developing practical coping strategies. When a client feels ready, Mellissa will gently explore deeper patterns or past experiences that may be contributing to current difficulties. She prioritizes empathetic listening and reflective understanding rather than directing what someone should do, supporting clients to find their own solutions or to reach acceptance so they can move forward.
Mellissa has worked with adults on a range of issues including grief, trauma and abuse, depression, low self-esteem, intimacy and family problems, career stress, and matters related to LGBT identity. She is not currently accepting new clients.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and acceptance, placing the client’s experience at the center of the work. It helps people build self-understanding, increase self-esteem, and navigate relationship or identity concerns by encouraging personal insight and growth.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical skills to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, depression, phobias, and stress management because it targets specific thinking and coping strategies.
Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to support habit change, stress reduction, and the exploration of thoughts and memories in a therapeutic context. When appropriate, it can be combined with other methods to support clients working through trauma, habits, or deep-seated patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Mellissa works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these approaches effectively for remote formats.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, travel, or mobility needs. These options allow for consistent access to support and make it simpler to maintain momentum between sessions.
