Holistic Counselling, Psychotherapy & Breathwork Coaching in Huddersfield & Online Across the UK

Welcome. You’ve found your way here, perhaps carrying questions, grief, quiet longings or a deep call to reconnect with yourself.

I’m Melissa Rose Spencer - Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Breathwork Coach. I offer a space where you are gently invited home to your inner world. Together, we sit with what’s present; with breath, with kindness, and with care.

From my quiet, private practice on the edge of the Peak District in Marsden, Huddersfield or online from wherever you are, I offer sessions that honour the wisdom of the body, the imagination of the psyche, and the resilience of the heart.

Ways We Might Work

Sessions unfold organically and we may weave together:

  • Talking therapy and deep listening

  • Breathwork, body-based awareness and grounding

  • Creative practices like drawing, painting, writing and image-making

  • Nature-based therapy, walking or sitting outdoors

I offer:

  • In-person therapy in Marsden, Huddersfield

  • Online sessions across the UK

  • Phone or walk-and-talk therapy in nature

Therapy as a Tending

In our work together, we may speak. We may pause. We may breathe. We might turn toward images, colours & textures or step gently outdoors to feel what emerges in the presence of trees and sky.

My approach is grounded in person-centred therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and the existential and transpersonal traditions. I bring a trauma-informed, holistic and non-pathologising lens, trusting that healing is a remembering - a returning - not a fixing.

This space is for you if you are:

  • Living with anxiety, sadness or overwhelm

  • Moving through loss, grief or the ending of a chapter

  • Living with trauma or seeking embodied healing

  • Exploring identity, neurodivergence, spirituality or purpose

  • Longing to reconnect with your intuition, your body or your creative self
