My name is Davina.
I am a qualified Humanistic and Integrative Person Centred Counsellor based in the historic Roman city of Bath, where I was born and raised. As a wife and mother of two boys, I bring a grounded, empathetic perspective to my work, informed by my previous career in financial services and a deep appreciation for life's complexities.
I provide confidential, bespoke counselling services to adults and young people in the Bath area and surrounding regions, tailored to meet the unique needs of discerning clients seeking profound personal transformation. With over six years of dedicated experience, I guide individuals through a diverse array of challenges, including stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement and loss, relationship complexities (both historical and contemporary), family dynamics, and intricate issues such as women's health and menopause. Drawing on a versatile repertoire of techniques, I incorporate creative and interactive modalities to foster deeper insight and holistic healing.
As a Person-Centred Therapist, I am profoundly committed to cultivating a secure, non-judgmental, and empathetic sanctuary where clients can authentically unravel their thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. I hold the conviction that each person harbours an innate potential for growth, positive evolution, and self-actualisation. My collaborative approach empowers clients to tap into their intrinsic wisdom and resilience, rather than imposing directives or solutions.
Guided by foundational tenets of active listening, unconditional positive regard, congruence, and empathic resonance, I facilitate enhanced self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-esteem. This process equips clients to make intentional decisions that resonate with their core values and aspirations, ultimately nurturing enduring fulfilment and inner fortitude.
If you are prepared to embark on a refined journey of self-exploration and empowerment, I extend a warm invitation to connect for an initial consultation. Together, we can discern how Person-Centred Therapy can illuminate your path to a more enriched and resilient existence.

Qualifications and Experience
My name is Melina,
I am a qualified Humanistic and Integrative Person Centred Counsellor. Based In Frome and Bath. I offer a calm, confidential, and supportive therapeutic space where you can explore your experiences with openness and compassion. Whether you are navigating a particular difficulty, seeking clarity in a challenging period of your life, or wishing to deepen your understanding of what truly shapes your sense of self, my practice provides a grounded and reflective environment in which meaningful personal growth can unfold.
Central to my work is the therapeutic relationship. I am committed to cultivating a warm, trusting, and attuned connection, one in which you feel genuinely heard, respected, and understood. From this foundation, we can explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns of relating, expanding your self-awareness and reconnecting you with what matters most. My approach is collaborative and non‑directive, honouring your autonomy and your innate capacity for healing and change.
Our first session offers an opportunity for us to meet, to discuss your hopes and expectations, and to consider how we might work together. It is important that you feel comfortable with your counsellor, and this initial conversation helps shape the focus and structure of an initial block of ten sessions, allowing us to begin with clarity and shared intention.
I work with adults, children under 10, and couples, supporting individuals through a wide range of experiences including anxiety, bereavement, depression, loss, trauma, relationship difficulties, cultural issues, infertility, pregnancy‑related concerns, work‑related stress, self‑esteem challenges, and women’s issues. I also offer space for those seeking personal development, life direction, or a deeper understanding of their inner world. My therapeutic approach draws on Humanistic and Person‑Centred principles, and I integrate creative or reflective methods where helpful to support deeper insight and emotional integration.
I offer both short‑term and long‑term therapy, delivered face‑to‑face, online, or by telephone, depending on what best suits your needs and circumstances. I work in English and Spanish, and I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.
If you feel ready to begin a thoughtful and supportive journey of self‑exploration, I would be glad to meet with you and explore how we might work together.
