About Melvyn Heyes

I specialize in treating anxiety and stress in ‘normal’ people like yourself. My clients appear stable and successful, but quickly express they’re struggling - overwhelmed with frustration - even sadness. They tell me life seems persistently harder than a while ago, stuck in seemingly inescapable patterns with difficult problems. Then, more issues: job dissatisfaction, marital communication (even divorce) or parental challenges – a ‘Polycrisis’. Clients want to be heard and validated; I’ll listen. We’ll work together in a positive direction to restore order, enjoyment in life and self-confidence with a strong sense of satisfaction. My practical approaches focus on designing and implementing paths forward for specific definable problems, as well as your generalized angst. We’ll not just manage symptoms – we’ll also break old patterns you've operated on (perhaps for years) because of past trauma or other experiences; we'll build new ways of thinking, behaving and responding. I engage carefully to what is happening and we will cooperate on a response. My non-judgmental approach balances the need to validate your experiences with the urgency to address and resolve your challenges. I will help you create the fulfilment you envision.

“Melvyn is practical and solution oriented. Excellent therapist for those who want to receive helpful strategies for dealing with issues and learning how apply them in real life.”

“Very respectful and genuine. We are just starting out but I look forward to growing personally through our sessions.”

“I appreciate Melvyn's no nonsense approach for my specific needs.”

“very knowledgeable and gives praise, while also encouraging me to focus on self improvement.”

“I have a hard time connecting with therapist, they often feel fake, like they are putting on a therapist voice and are saying things they have read straight from a text book. I don’t feel like this at all with Melvin, he is very genuine, goal oriented and doesn’t sugar coat things. He is just what I was looking for.”

“I would recommend Melvyn as a great therapist.”

“Very pleasant and thoughtful of my feelings!”

“Melvyn is an extremely experienced, empathetic, and thoughtful therapist. I am routinely asked to challenge my beliefs and views of particular situations which allows me to understand new perspectives and change the framework through which I see the world and deal with issues. During our time, I not only feel that I am listened to, but I am also given the tools to learn and grow myself.”

“I’ve only had one session but I felt he understands where I am in my grief”

“Really good therapist. He gets to the point and moves forward.”

“He really helped me see some of my negativity that I thought was normal or realistic for what it was and is helping me see myself differently all together”
