Holistic Counselling & Psychotherapy: Body, Mind & Spirit

Holistic Counsellor, Psychotherapist & Breathwork Coach

Melissa Rose Spencer BA (Hons) MSc UKAHPP

I offer a holistic, person-centred counselling and psychotherapy service combining traditional talking methods with somatic and creative approaches. I believe that true healing occurs when we honour our whole being and attune to our authentic and intuitive selves to source wisdom, growth, meaning and fulfilment. All my offerings are underpinned with heart and a solid foundation in therapeutic theory and trauma awareness. I offer 1-1 sessions in a cosy and private room based on the edge of the Peak District National Park in Marsden, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire or we can connect on the phone, online or outside in nature. I work with clients worldwide including within the UK, Europe, Australia & Asia. To explore working together you can contact me here.
