Welcome to Flourish Therapy

I’m Melanie, an integrative counsellor based in Wokingham. Alongside my work in hospice care, I offer private counselling to people living with a terminal or life-limiting diagnosis, and to the people who love and care for them.

This isn’t generalist counselling with a specialism added on afterwards. Hospice work means sitting with the hardest conversations most people will ever have — and bringing that experience into private practice means you’re working with someone who has genuinely walked alongside people facing what you’re facing.

I also support carers — of people with terminal illness and of people with disabilities — because caring for someone else so often means putting your own feelings last, and that takes its own kind of toll. And I work with adults and teenagers with learning difficulties, helping them process difficult experiences in a way that works for them.

If you’re looking for a counsellor for a different reason — a general worry, a difficult life change, something that doesn’t sit neatly under any of the above — I also see general counselling clients in and around Wokingham, and would be glad to hear from you.


Because private counselling runs alongside my hospice role, I currently see clients on a small number of evenings each week. Please get in touch to check what I have available.
