Melissa Clarke

Melissa Clarke is an MBACP-accredited integrative psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. She holds a degree in Counselling and is obtaining a Masters in Mental Health Science.

She works with individuals and couples on stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, depression, and coping with life changes. Melissa practices as a female, non-religious, liberal therapist and tailors her approach to each person’s needs.

Melissa aims to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. She recognises that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage and offers respectful support through that process.

Her integrative practice uses a variety of techniques, including talking therapy, CBT, mindfulness, card games, videos, and worksheets, to help clients explore challenges and build practical skills.

She offers 12 sessions of structured therapy for Betterhelp Clients with a review after six sessions. Should clients wish to continue after the initial 12 sessions, they may request a further six sessions during the 12th session; continuation will be subject to evaluation.

Counselling can be provided via video, audio calls, or live chat. Chat room messages between sessions are addressed within 24 hours on weekdays only, and between the hours of 3pm-4pm. Clients are expected to keep messages concise and specific so Melissa can respond with thorough, explicit guidance. Chat is intended for clients who have specific requests about managing an issue rather than as an ongoing chat line.
