About Melissa Foster
Her work is rooted in an integrative approach that adapts to each person’s needs. Melissa draws on person-centred principles to create an empathic, non-judgemental environment and combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic techniques, and solution-focused methods to help clients explore patterns, manage symptoms, and develop practical coping strategies. She has completed Level 5 training in Psychotherapeutic Counselling, a qualification that has equipped her to work at a deeper therapeutic level and to support more complex concerns.
Over five years she has supported people facing anxiety, stress, relationship and family difficulties, low self-esteem, grief, parenting challenges, career questions, and transitions in life. Melissa also works with more specific issues such as attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family dynamics, infertility and fertility-related distress, relationship betrayal, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness. Her role is to walk alongside clients, helping them gain clarity, build resilience, and find practical ways forward at a pace that feels right for them.

For these types of issues, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.One of the main advantages is convenience. Clients can choose the communication method that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to access support from home.
Licensed professionals provide care through these remote formats, and if a different therapeutic fit is needed, it is possible to switch to another therapist. Online therapy offers a flexible way to receive ongoing support while working toward personal goals and improved coping skills.
