About Mellissa
Mellissa Hamley offers calm, practical support for people who feel off balance, overwhelmed or stuck. She greets each person with simple, steady listening and helps them untangle what’s most worrying right now. Mellissa aims to make talking about emotions feel straightforward and manageable.
She works in a collaborative way and adapts sessions to fit the person in front of her. Early meetings focus on what is happening now and what change would look like.
Background and approach
Over time she may explore deeper patterns that maintain struggle, always moving at a pace the client feels able to follow. Mellissa uses a mix of approaches including hypnotherapy, client-centred conversations, cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking. That means she might combine guided relaxation, practical thought-and-behaviour exercises and reflective discussion to meet different needs.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief and trauma. She also supports people with issues around self-esteem, life changes, career worries and feelings of isolation or emptiness. Mellissa holds NCPS and has five years of experience working with adults.
She offers sessions in English and works with people across the United Kingdom. The aim is to help clients find clearer choices, reduce distress and regain a sense of direction.

Online support
Online approaches and how they can help
Mellissa blends hypnotherapy with client-centred work to offer both calming and conversational tools. Hypnotherapy is used as guided relaxation and imagery to help reduce anxiety, manage panic symptoms and support changes in habitual responses. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people make their own choices about change. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits. CBT-style exercises are practical and can help with panic, phobias, low mood and persistent worry by breaking problems into manageable steps. Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mellissa will work with each person to choose or combine methods based on their goals and comfort level. This is a collaborative effort where the client’s preferences guide which techniques are used and how fast progress moves. Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow a face-to-face style conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text-based messaging can fit around busy days. These options make it easier to plan appointments around work or family life and to keep continuity of support when in-person attendance is difficult.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
