Melanie Wray

Philosophy & Vision

I am an accredited mental health practitioner with experience supporting people through a range of mental health challenges, with a special interest in perinatal mental health. My work is shaped by both professional knowledge and lived experience of postnatal anxiety and depression, giving me a deep understanding of how overwhelming, isolating and complex the perinatal period can be. I am passionate about providing warm, supportive, inclusive and professional care, creating a safe space where people can feel heard, understood and supported. I draw on Compassion-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Gestalt Therapy to help clients build self-compassion, reconnect with their values and find their unique path in parenthood.
