About Melanie

Melanie Farnworth is a United Kingdom based therapist with four years of clinical experience who is a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She specialises in supporting people through loss and bereavement - including pet grief - as well as stress, anxiety, family conflict, low motivation, self-esteem challenges, confidence issues, and depression. Her current work within a cancer charity means she regularly offers counselling to those facing a diagnosis and to their families, bringing understanding of the emotional impact of illness and caregiving.

Melanie uses client-centred principles alongside cognitive behavioural techniques to help clients explore thoughts and feelings, identify practical steps forward, and develop coping strategies suited to their circumstances. She aims to create an open, non-judgmental space where people can speak honestly and feel heard. Melanie believes reaching out takes courage and that most people have the inner resources to move toward a more fulfilling life; she sees her role as supporting and empowering clients as they take those steps.

Appointments are offered with flexibility in mind, and Melanie welcomes international clients. If available session times do not suit, she invites prospective clients to get in touch so she can try to find a mutually convenient arrangement.

Client-Focused and CBT Approaches for Online Care

Melanie Farnworth combines client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy to guide people through emotional challenges in an online setting. Client-centred therapy focuses on building a respectful, non-judgmental relationship where the client’s own goals and experiences lead the work; this approach helps with self-esteem, relationship and family issues, and adjusting to life changes. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, stress and unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Melanie works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors techniques and the pace of work so that clients feel supported as they experiment with new ways of thinking and coping.

Online sessions through video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family and caregiving responsibilities or for those living at a distance. These options make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity between sessions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable while working with registered professionals and therapists to achieve meaningful progress.
