Some of the therapies Mel has trained in include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, Eye-Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Gottman Method for Relationships. These therapies have a good evidence base to overcome difficulties such as sleep disturbance, anxiety, depression, workplace stress, chronic and persistent pain, post-traumatic stress, grief and loss, and adjustment.

Psychological intervention can assist with adjusting to any temporary or permanent change in an individual’s life.
