MH Counselling

A calm, confidential place to talk things through.

I'm Melanie Hawley. I offer counselling and short, practical therapies, at a pace that suits you.

Therapies

Not sure which is right for you? Choose “Not sure yet” when you book and we'll talk it through together.

Counselling
A confidential space to talk through what's on your mind, to be heard without judgement, and to understand yourself and your situation better.
Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT)
A practical approach that looks at how your thoughts, feelings and behaviour affect each other, and gives you tools to change patterns that aren't helping.
Solution focused brief therapy
A short-term approach that focuses on what you want your life to look like and builds on what is already working, rather than dwelling on the problem.
Motivational enhancement therapy
A few collaborative conversations to strengthen your own reasons and confidence for making a change, especially around alcohol or drugs.
Social behaviour and network therapy
Support that looks at the people around you, building a network of friends, family and others who help you make and keep positive changes.

About me

I'm Melanie Hawley, a therapist offering counselling and a range of short, practical therapies.

Sessions are confidential and move at your pace. You decide what we talk about and how much you share.

How booking works

  1. Send a request below, with some days and times that suit you.
  2. I'll get back to you to agree a time. Your session is only booked once I have confirmed it.
  3. You'll receive a confirmation by email. If you'd like reminders, tell me when you book.
  4. After confirmation you'll be invited to a private client login, where you can see your appointment, cancel it, or send me a message.

Privacy summary

When you send a request, I collect the details you type in: your name, email, phone number and anything you choose to tell me.

I use them only to arrange and run your sessions and to contact you about them. Only I can see them. They are stored securely with the service that runs this website, and appointment emails are sent through an email service.

You can ask to see, correct or delete your details at any time by contacting me.
