Melanie Holland Tucker

I am an experienced qualified professional Integrative therapist using a trauma informed approach working with a wide range of client issues that include:
Depression and anxiety, Alcohol and substance misuse/addiction, Grief and loss, Low self-esteem and lack of confidence, Trauma including domestic violence, childhood/adult emotional, psychological and sexual abuse , Toxic relationships, Separation and divorce
I have a passionate belief in the human capacity for change, and I am therefore committed to using my skills, training, knowledge and experience to support those who seek therapy in assisting them to do so.
It can feel difficult to know where to start or how to cope when we feel overwhelmed by painful experiences, thoughts and feelings. Talking to someone who will listen in an open, accepting and non-judgemental way can be the beginning of a process of change and healing.
I will work alongside you whilst offering a confidential, compassionate, empathic and non- judgemental space in which together we can look at any issues you wish to, safely.
I am a relational therapist at the heart of my work which means the relationship we build together is the foundation of our work and valued, as is the relationship you have with yourself and others. I believe that you, the client, is the expert on yourself.
I practice Integratively which means I draw from a number of theoretical approaches, skills and interventions allowing me the flexibility to assist my clients as unique individuals.
I bring a warm, calm and relaxed approach to my work in which my client feels supported and empowered.
I work with clients on both a short and long term basis.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy which means I adhere to their code of professional standards and ethical framework.
I have public liability insurance and undertake continuous professional development to regularly update my practice.
Together we can explore what is causing you to feel sad or unhappy, stressed or distressed. Many people feel stuck or alone with their problems but it doesn’t have to always feel that way.
If you would like to see if you feel we could work together please contact me to arrange an initial telephone consultation.
