Hi, I’m Melissa, and I’m so pleased you’ve stopped by. My mission is to support you to flourish, whether that be as an individual or within your relationship.

I have a Masters in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, to support the quality of life of individuals and couples via scientific and evidenced-based approaches. My passion, and hence my key area of research, is how to cultivate and sustain high quality relationships with self and others, and how to cultivate wellbeing, change, and achievement in personally meaningful and sustainable ways.

‘Personally meaningful’ is of great importance to me as a coach, as we can only experience flourishing when we support our wellbeing in ways that are personally authentic and fulfilling.

Elements which support and allow me to flourish include;

Being around my loves ones and proactively nurturing these relationships
Living in alignment to my values
Playing to my strengths
Doing what feels good
Pursuing meaningful work and goals
Swimming in the ocean
Eating delicious food
Reading with a cup of tea (or wine!)
Running to good music
& daily beach walks with my beautiful Hungarian Vizsla puppy, Archibald.

In addition to my coaching practice; I have worked in human resources management for 12+ years, holding a Bachelor Degree in Human Resources Management.

I also work in human resources for the Starlight Children’s Foundation as a Positive Psychology Advisor, focused on supporting the Starlight team to be at their best for the kids, young people and families Starlight supports. It is a real honour.

I hope to connect with and coach you to achieve and nurture your state of flourishing.
