About Melissa Hepburn

Melissa Hepburn is an integrative therapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), a membership that denotes affiliation with that professional body.

She began her work in a bereavement service, supporting multiple families and individuals through loss. That experience has shaped her understanding of how death, although inevitable, remains a deeply challenging life event for most people.

Melissa also has clinical experience supporting people with PTSD, anxiety, and gender dysphoria. Her practice is grounded in values of being non-judgemental, open-minded, and consistently empathetic. She recognises that starting therapy can feel daunting and strives to create an environment where individuals feel as comfortable as possible.

In addition to individual work, Melissa supports couples who are experiencing difficulties. She offers flexible approaches, working with partners together or with each person individually to help them identify practical steps and find the best way forward.

One of the main advantages is flexibility. Clients can connect with a therapist in the way that suits them best - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapeutic work into a busy schedule.

Therapists who offer online sessions are licensed professionals, and clients are able to request a different fit if they would prefer to work with someone else. For many people, remote therapy provides a practical and effective route to emotional support and progress.
