Dr Melanie James is a chartered counselling psychologist practising in psychology at New Broad Street Medical Centre in London. She is the clinical lead at HCA Roodlane and brings more than 15 years of experience across NHS and private healthcare, supporting adults, adolescents, couples and families.

Her clinical interests include women’s mental health, with a particular focus in recent years on supporting women through perimenopause and menopause. She helps individuals navigate psychological and physical symptoms that can emerge during this life stage, with a strong emphasis on rebuilding a sense of agency, confidence and control.

Dr James works alongside GPs to deliver multidisciplinary care and education, tailoring therapy to the individual’s needs and goals. Her therapeutic approach primarily integrates psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural frameworks, enabling her to explore underlying drivers of distress while also providing practical strategies to support change.

She provides family and couples therapy and supports clients with a broad range of emotional and psychological concerns. Her practice is grounded in collaborative, patient-centred care, with treatment plans shaped around the person’s circumstances, preferences and pace.
