Ms Michelle Melia

Psychotherapist

“My aim is to encourage you to feel comfortable speaking about whatever is troubling you. I am available for a 15-minute consultation (no charge).”

About Me

Finding the right psychotherapist is crucial for feeling truly heard. My aim is to ensure you feel comfortable speaking about whatever is troubling you. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can gently explore difficult thoughts and feelings. This approach helps you address what's on your mind without pressure. To discover if we are a good match, I invite you to a no-charge 15-minute consultation. This allows you to experience my supportive style.

Approach

Sessions focus on creating a calm, steady space where you can speak openly about concerns at your own pace. I work with adults in Cork and online in English, offering sessions that feel relaxed and predictable. I gently explore patterns common in life transitions, grief, anxiety and burnout, using reflective listening, practical coping steps and brief between-session reflections when helpful. This way of working tends to suit adults seeking steady, compassionate support while they adjust to change or recover from loss.
