I found Dr Phelps was empathic and knowledgeable, and I felt I could open up to her about my problems which I have found difficult with other people in the past. Her expertise helped me to make sense of my difficulties and I then was able to make some important changes in my life

Melanie really helped me to make sense of, and to control and then stop, my binge eating which I had suffered with for a number of years. I found Melanie to be understanding and she is very knowledegeable of her subject matter. Highly recommended.
