Nobody would guess how harshly your inner critic speaks to you.

“I came to coaching while dealing with a lot of work and personal stress. I am a high achiever who can be really hard on herself, and I knew I needed support to shift that pattern.

After years with different therapists and life coaches, I had started to feel like every question that could be asked had already been asked. Melissa brought a completely fresh perspective, and she is skilled at keeping me from spiraling down a rabbit hole. I have learned to prioritize myself, set real boundaries, and get clear on my core values.”

“I started working with Melissa after becoming a manager. I wanted to stay empathetic and kind, but I was becoming too flexible and constantly putting other people’s needs above my own.

The coaching never feels like generic advice, clichés, or things you could read in a book, and I always leave with something tangible I can use straight away. I am far more self-aware and intentional with my boundaries, and I am definitely not the same person who started.”

“I hit quite a lot at work and knew I had to do something about my own needs, although at the time I was not sure what I wanted from it. At first I was very closed off and uncomfortable talking about myself.

I love the way Melissa challenges me. She challenges my views, but still leaves room for me to find my own answers. I had always operated a certain way that I thought was completely normal, and I would never have stepped back to look at it without her coaching.”

“I was feeling very anxious, stuck and stagnant in my life, and afraid to make big decisions because I did not fully trust myself. I was nervous at first, because it is difficult to be open and vulnerable with a stranger.

Melissa has a very calm and relaxed energy, which helped me feel at peace. I have confidently made the decision to move to London, because I know it aligns with my core values and the life I want to build.”

“I started coaching with Melissa to understand myself better and to find new ways of processing things. Some sessions can be triggering, because you are speaking about what naturally makes you uncomfortable.

I love that we tackle those things head on, and I always feel safe talking about them. I have learned new ways to calm myself down when I feel overwhelmed or anxious, I trust myself more, and I feel proud to have a space to speak about what I am facing.”

“I came to Melissa through my employer, hoping to learn tools to be more productive and to set boundaries. I always felt comfortable and safe in the sessions, and I felt genuinely heard.

I have defined my main values and I am so much more aligned with them. Now it is normal for me to ask whether something fits my values, instead of blindly making decisions and going about life.”

“I started coaching with Melissa because I felt stuck and stagnant. My physical health was not in a great place and it was affecting everything else I was doing.

The early sessions were eye-opening, and it never felt like I had to make immediate grand changes, though the small ones have now built up into really big ones. I spend less time doom scrolling, I have built a good routine, and my energy is up.”

“I came to Melissa struggling with perfectionism, imposter syndrome, overthinking, and tying my sense of worth too closely to productivity. I had already done a lot of self-reflection, but I wanted help turning insight into tools I could use in real moments.

Her style is practical and compassionate, and I especially appreciated that she guided me toward my own answers instead of just giving advice. I am far more aware of the patterns underneath my avoidance and self-criticism, and I have clearer language for my values.”
