Melissa Holian

Gestalt Therapist
Contact Me!

I am a BACP registered Gestalt therapist working with adults and adolescents in the St Albans area both at my private practice in AL2 and as a student counsellor in a secondary school.  Having completed my Diploma through the Albany Centre, I have also worked with students completing their studies and offer a discounted rate to those who are in education. 

 At the moment, you may be feeling stuck, or finding experiences in your past or present difficult to manage. Through raising your awareness of thoughts, patterns and behaviours, I can help you to explore these uncomfortable emotions and find alternative ways of being.  I am aware that starting a therapeutic relationship can be daunting, and am passionate about creating a calm, non-judgemental space where there is real connection and where you will feel seen and understood- perhaps for the first time. 

 Whatever the difficulties you are facing (trauma, addiction, self-harm, bereavement, identity, anxiety, depression, sexuality, eating anxieties, attachment, domestic abuse, self-esteem, stress), I will work alongside you, helping you to process these past and present experiences. I believe that each individual has within them the ability to grow into the person they would like to be. My role as your therapist, is to work together with you, helping to remove any obstacles that may be in your way, so that you feel empowered to create the path to positive change you desire. 

 I work face to face at my private practice in St Albans or online via Zoom. Sessions are £60 for 50 minute sessions or a discounted rate for those who are in education/work in education.

I offer a free 30 minute initial telephone/zoom consultation to discuss what would be useful and for you to ask any questions.  

I look forward to hearing from you via email [email protected]
