About Melrose
Melrose Gunning is a counsellor who works from the United Kingdom and has four years of professional experience. She believes people know their own stories and brings a respectful, supportive presence to sessions. Melrose aims to make the first steps into therapy easier and speaks plainly about the work ahead.
Her main interests include grief and loss, stress and anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps people cope with life changes and major health challenges such as cancer, chronic illness and caregiving stress.
Background and approach
Melrose offers support for communication problems, separation and issues around forgiveness. She is comfortable supporting people facing end-of-life concerns and hospice-related matters, and she has experience working with those who are hearing impaired. Cultural background and multicultural concerns are part of her focus when they affect a person's wellbeing.
Postpartum depression and rebuilding self-love are also areas she addresses. Melrose uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and keeps the work practical. Sessions are a place to talk through what matters now, learn coping steps and build on strengths you already have.
She aims to respond to daytime messages by 6pm, with a different timetable for messages after 8pm. People who prefer clear, respectful conversation and straightforward tasks may find her style helpful. The process begins by naming the issue, trying simple strategies, and adjusting the plan as needed.
Melrose encourages small steps and recognises that reaching out for help takes courage.

Online support
Another approach focuses on grieving and life transitions by creating space to tell your story, process loss and find ways to remember what matters while building coping strategies. This work often helps people facing illness, caregiving strain or end-of-life issues to make sense of difficult changes.
Choosing the right way of working is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out which techniques fit your needs, goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as you progress.
Online therapy with Melrose is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video gives face-to-face contact, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging lets you share thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and health needs.
