About Me

Services

We are able to offer bespoke support dependent on your situation, but most of my work is in these three areas

Careers Guidance

Feeling uncertain about your next step? I offer one-to-one guidance for students, recent graduates, and adults — helping you explore your strengths, clarify your goals, and make informed decisions about work, study, or career change.

University Application Support

Applying to university can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I provide expert, personalised advice on every step of the application process in the UK and abroad, including course choices, personal statements, interviews, and more.

Support for Schools

Need an expert on call? I work with schools to deliver impactful talks, training sessions, and tailored careers support — both in-person and online. Whether it’s a one-off presentation or ongoing staff mentorship, I bring insight, energy, and practical help.

"Melanie recently helped our youngest daughter (17) with her university applications to the US, UK and Canada. My daughter, wife and I all are very appreciative of all of the expertise and support Mel provided over a 3 month period leading up to the various application deadlines.

In particular, Mel is very knowledgeable about the different application processes in all 3 countries. Indeed Mel also has an excellent understanding of the contrasting expectations and requirements of individual universities in each country, so she was able to give our daughter very targeted, tailored comments and suggestions on her essays. Mel always made herself available at short notice, even over the Christmas and New Year period.

Our daughter found her detailed feedback and comments particularly valuable. Mel often came up with creative ideas whilst at the same time letting our daughter put her own stamp on the essays, which is important. My daughter felt that Mel and she worked very well as a team. Mel is also a very calm person which was a great asset for our daughter in the midst of such a stressful time.

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mel to others."
