Melisha Pillay

Melisha Pillay invites people to pause, breathe, and remember that they are loved, important, and valuable. She creates a respectful, supportive setting in which clients can begin from the inside and explore matters they may not feel able to discuss with others.

Melisha speaks from personal experience. She went through a time when she felt she had lost her voice and later worked with a therapist to rediscover herself, grow in confidence and recognise her own worth. That transformation felt life changing, and it guides her decision to help others find the same freedom.

In her practice she uses creative interventions to help clients move from where they are to where they want to be more efficiently. Melisha explains that parts of the mind can work creatively when clients are not actively thinking, and she draws on that process alongside conversational work.

She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, addictions, family and parenting difficulties, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, coping with life changes, coaching, and compassion fatigue. Melisha also identifies as a therapist of colour, a female therapist, and a Christian counsellor.

Her highest values are empathy, honesty and trust, which she brings into the counselling space so clients can feel secure enough to open up about what matters most to them. As a person of faith she offers Christian counselling and can work within a client’s own religious or value system.

Melisha is based in the United Kingdom and has 4 years of experience providing therapy. She looks forward to supporting people as they begin that journey toward greater self-understanding and freedom.
