Melissa Powenski

Professional Profile

I have worked in mental health for nearly 20 years, from school psychatric services to inpatient and community settings as a trainee, a mental health nurse and now a CBT therapist.

I have a very good working knowledge of mental health challenges for young people, their families and also new mothers. 

I have a particular interest in neurodivergence, having spent many years working with this client group and I am engaged in a meaningful and practical way of changing things, even if that means finding a way to incorporate exercise into your day. 

As a qualified personal trainer and pilates teacher, I bring different approaches to clients with an evidence base and supportive approach.

I abide by the professional and ethical standards laid down by the BABCP and I have full professional indemnity and current DBS clearance.
