   Melissa is a really empathetic, patient, and supportive therapist. I’ve never been so consistent with therapy before or learned so much from it. As someone with more than one mental health condition, I have found Melissa’s approach really helpful - she has been so good at tailoring therapy to my individual needs.

   From the moment I read Elizabeth’s bio, something inside me just clicked. I felt an instant connection, as if her words were speaking directly to me, and I knew she was the counsellor I had been hoping to find. Our initial phone call only confirmed that feeling. She was warm, clear, and so reassuring—she helped me understand what to expect and made the whole process feel less daunting. After that, I didn’t hesitate to book my sessions. I also loved that there were options to book individually or in bulk at a really good rate. I chose the block sessions, and Patrick, who handles the admin, was unbelievably kind and patient. He worked so thoughtfully around my schedule, and it meant a lot to feel so supported even before the sessions began. Consistency really helped me, so I tried to keep the same day each week, and that rhythm became something I looked forward to. Although Elizabeth offers telephone and Zoom sessions, I chose face-to-face because it felt right for me. The therapy space itself is something special—warm, comforting, and safe. Every time I walked in, I felt my shoulders drop and my guard soften. Elizabeth has a presence that’s hard to put into words. From the very first session, she made me feel seen, heard, and understood. Her kindness, patience, and genuine care allowed me to open up in ways I didn’t know I could. I shared things I had carried for so long, and she held them with such compassion. I truly feel blessed to have found her. With her guidance, I found strength and clarity during some of the most challenging moments of my life. She didn’t just help me through difficult times—she helped me reconnect with myself. I wholeheartedly recommend Relational Counselling. Elizabeth has made a lasting impact on my life, and I will never forget the support, understanding, and hope she gave me.

   Everything about my journey with relational counselling has been perfect. Starting simple, their website and booking processes are simple and user friendly. The reminders are prompt but sensitive in their wording which can make a big difference. The initial consultation may be 10 minutes, but I felt instantly safe to lean on someone and was reassured that having asked for help was the right decision. From here, every session, every email, every tool, every explanation, every worksheet, has guided me and supported me to work through a wide variety of concerns and challenges. We have dissected, changed perceptions, challenged negativity, reframed, retaught, practiced, and learnt invaluable things. And this would not have been possible, let alone as successful as it has been for me without Melissa. She is professional, empathetic, empowering, gentle, reassuring, knowledgeable, flexible, and so much more. Her sessions allow you to start where you wish, and she works along each thought with you, which can be truly enlightening and lead you to learn things about yourself you would never have believed possible. For myself, I have benefited massively from her recommended readings, workbooks, worksheets. Most of all, her calming personality has been ever present in all we have done. You feel seen, heard, soothed, and healed simply by someone being present and truly listening to understand and help. I am a changed, saved, better human, who knows she is allowed to be human. There are no words to truly express my gratitude for Melissa. To whomsoever may read this- I wish you the best on your journey with Melissa, and hope for the future.

   Elizabeth made me feel super comfortable throughout the whole experience. As someone who wod usually struggle talking about my emotions, I felt like she really gave me a safe non judgemental space to open up and really explore them. Booking sessions was easy and being able to book blocks in advance was great for keeping me accountable to attending my sessions each week by having them already in the diary. I will genuinely miss our sessions each week now they've finished, but I feel safe knowing I've built a relationship that I would feel comfortable going back if I need to in the future. 100% recommend the business overall!

   After talking to friends about their own experiences with therapy (where most of them either keep changing therapists or have been going for years),I realised how lucky I am to have met my therapist, Elizabeth. From the beginning, she made it clear that therapy shouldn't be a lifelong commitment regardless of your progress. Right away, you notice how experienced she is: the way she adapts to the situation, how good of a listener she is, how she keeps you on track, and how quickly she picks up on changes in your tone of voice or body language (even over video call, which is impressive). It can be scary to have someone mirror things back to you, but trust me, that’s where the work begins. And I wouldn't know a better person more suited to help you with your own struggles. Elizabeth, if you're reading this—thank you so much for everything you’ve done for me during our time together. I appreciate it deeply.

   I have been through a month of therapy with Melissa Cooper and my first therapy experience couldn't have been more positive. She provided me with a safe space to vent and made the right questions for me to reflect deeper on different aspects of my life. I truly recommend her to anyone who wants to dedicate time to make sense of a difficult life situation without feeling pressure and with the right emotional support.

   Melissa is easily the best, most supportive therapist I have worked with. She has such a calm demeanor and really let's you guide your own sessions based on what you want to talk about and what your mood is. She helped me so much in such a short period of time and I am very thankful for her.

   This therapy saved me. It helped me to understand my emotions, and to overcome my past experience. It was a pleasure to work with Melissa. She is the kindest person and the most professional therapist ever. She was so creative with our sessions, and always understanding in every situation. She is simply the perfect therapist for everyone who is scared to start this process. I would recommend her to every person that I love, so there is no problem to recommend her to strangers. This was an awesome experience. 10/10 would recommend it.
