Holistic Psychotherapy Therapy for times of Distress, Crisis and Change

I am Melanie Ann Johnson, offering holistic psychotherapy, for people going through times of stress, crisis and change in North Cornwall and beyond. People come to me looking for answers, or clarity or insight, and I consider it my privilege to help them find those things, using the skills and knowledge I have learned over many years.

Everyone is different; all have individual journeys through life, and so each path towards healing and wholeness will be unique.

My training and experience cover a variety of disciplines. This breadth enables me to respond in the way that is most appropriate for the people who come to me.

My way of working is relational and includes mindfulness, somatic awareness, and an understanding of how the past impacts the present.

I have been accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy since 2004, and have continued to learn and develop since then.

The different approaches I have explored are expanded on in my About Me section.

More information about how I work is in is in the How I Work section and in the How Therapy Works section.

I have experienced crisis and change in my own life, and have learned that this doesn’t have to be a backward step. Difficult times can be a doorway into a life of greater meaning, purpose and depth.

I provide a space where you can unravel, experience emotions, connect to yourself and find the path towards greater coherence and stability.

I have twenty years of experience of therapeutic practice and over thirty years of exploration in this area. This means that I can offer an intuitive response to my clients that is grounded in my knowledge and training.

You are very welcome to contact me to find out how we could work together.

I am a practitioner and teacher of iRest Yoga Nidra and embodied meditation can be a part of therapy for those who find this helpful. [link to more about this]. I plan to create some online meditations, available for my clients to download.

I can work with you online and can arrange to meet you face to face on an ad hoc basis. I am based on the North Cornwall coast.

I tend to start with a conversation over Zoom consultation of up to an hour. There is no charge for this. This first meeting will usually involve discussing your situation and any hopes or concerns. I can answer any questions you have about me and the way I work, and we can generally get a sense if we are a good match to work together. You can decide, following this, if you would like to continue.

Due to the nature of the issues my clients come to me with, the work is normally longer-term, but I am open to shorter-term work on occasion. Sessions are weekly and an hour in duration. Standard one-to-one sessions are £75 per hour.
