About Melanie Baker
With three years of clinical experience and the NCPS credential - a professional credential in psychological support - Melanie blends psycho-dynamic, cognitive behavioural, and humanistic person-centred techniques to offer practical tools and emotional understanding. She will first explore a client’s immediate concerns and longer-standing patterns during an initial session, listening carefully and respecting each person’s beliefs and background.
Therapy may concentrate on building resilience in areas such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes, or on more specific focuses like attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness, isolation, or compulsive behaviours. Methods are chosen to fit the person and can include talking therapy, visualisations, mindfulness, expressive arts and crafts, journaling, role-play, grounding techniques, symbolism, worksheets, and the use of SMART goals.
When appropriate, Melanie will suggest signposting to specialists or other professionals to ensure clients receive the most suitable support. Her practice aims to combine practical strategies with deeper exploration to help people move toward more fulfilling and manageable lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Melanie Baker works from approaches that combine practical skills with reflective exploration. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities - the therapist offers empathy and support while the client leads the pace and direction of change. This approach can help with self-esteem, life purpose, and coping with transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and learning concrete strategies to change them. CBT is useful for managing stress, anxiety, low mood, and repetitive thinking patterns by developing practical coping tools.
Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and relationship patterns influence current feelings and behaviours. This form of work can be helpful for issues like attachment difficulties, abandonment concerns, and recurring emotional conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Melanie collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options support accessibility and convenience, allowing people to fit therapy into busy lives and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
