Mel Walters, MSc
Counsellor | ADHD Coach
I bring both clinical training and lived experience to my counselling work, and after years of supporting people toward better wellbeing, I've developed a depth of understanding that I draw on for every client I work with.
I have a particular passion for working with neurodivergent individuals, including those with Autism and ADHD. My counselling room is designed with this in mind; it’s sensory-friendly, with fidgets and blankets available so you can feel comfortable and at ease from the moment you arrive.
I also understand first-hand how unsettling major life events and transitions can be, and I bring that personal understanding into the room alongside my professional experience.
I work with:
Depression
Anxiety
Mental health and neurodivergence
Stress
Identity and self-understanding
Relationships
Life transitions — including moving schools, career changes, and menopause
Alongside counselling, I offer specialist ADHD Coaching for individuals who want practical support to overcome barriers and reach their full potential.
My qualifications include the following:
Masters in Counselling (BACP Registered Member)
BA Hons Counselling and Psychology
Postgraduate Diploma in Education Mental Health
