About Melanie
Melanie McGee helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, anger, addictions and grief. She also supports those coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Melanie is based in the United Kingdom and works in English.
Her name appears here because she offers a straightforward, empathetic approach to common mental health concerns. Melanie sees each person as the expert on their own life. She focuses on practical steps people can take right away.
How Melanie works
Sessions aim to build small skills that reduce overwhelm and boost confidence. The tone is warm and direct rather than clinical. With six years of professional experience, Melanie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with a wide range of issues.
These include body image and eating-related problems, obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic and phobias, bipolar mood difficulties, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports people working through guilt, shame, forgiveness and self-love. Her work is collaborative.
Melanie helps people identify clear goals and tests out different ways to reach them. Conversations are practical and paced to each person’s needs, focusing on real-life changes rather than abstract theory. People can expect concise, honest feedback and tools to use between sessions.
Melanie encourages small, steady steps and checks progress regularly. Her style suits anyone who wants approachable, action-focused support while navigating emotional challenges.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online support
Melanie draws on well-established, evidence-based techniques that focus on thoughts, behaviours and coping skills. One common approach helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of responding; this is useful for anxiety, low mood and panic. Another approach targets behaviours by testing small changes in everyday life to reduce avoidance and build confidence, which can help with phobias, social anxiety and compulsive patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Melanie will discuss different methods and adapt them to what matters most to each person. The choice of technique is collaborative and may change as goals shift or progress is made.
Online therapy with Melanie can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments, and to continue support while travelling or living abroad.
