Melissa Holian

Gestalt Therapist
Contact Me!

I am a BACP registered Gestalt therapist and Clinical Supervisor providing support to clients, students and therapists in the St Albans area. In my private practice I work in person and online with adults and adolescents and I also work a student counsellor in a secondary school.  Having completed my Diploma in Counselling and Diploma in Clinical Supervision through the Albany Centre, I am familiar with the requirements of the course and provide a discounted rate to those in education looking for therapy or supervision.

Through my therapeutic work, I help to raise your awareness of thoughts and patterns which may currently be leaving you feeling stuck, misunderstood, unmotivated, sad, frustrated, overwhelmed, anxious or like you are “not enough.” With this new awareness, processing past experiences feels safe, questioning current beliefs brings peace and an increased confidence in your ability to navigate future challenges empowers you to live your life fully.

As well as supporting clients, I am also a Clinical Supervisor, supporting therapists and other professionals. Here I create a collaborative space where, as supervisees, you feel supported, safe to explore, gently challenged and inspired to develop your ongoing client/professional work. 

I am trained in a wide variety of areas: addiction, self-harm, bereavement, identity, neurodiversity, anxiety, depression, sexuality, eating anxieties, attachment, domestic abuse, self-esteem, stress, and have experience working with supervisees in private, organisational and educational settings.

Above all I am passionate about creating a warm therapeutic space, where clients and supervisees feel really seen and heard, perhaps for the first time. I am aware that raising awareness is not always easy, but a commitment to working together can ultimately prove life-changing- both personally and professionally.

I work face to face at my private practice in St Albans or online via Zoom. Sessions are £65 for 50-minute sessions or a discounted rate for those who are in education/work in education. I offer a free 30-minute initial Zoom consultation to discuss what would be useful and for you to ask any questions.  

I look forward to hearing from you
