Counselling

Introducing Melanie

 

As a licensed social worker and strengths-based psychotherapist, I have dedicated over a decade to supporting individuals, families, and young people in their journey towards healing and growth. I hope we can work together to:

 

  • empower you to heal and grow after trauma

  • process grief and strengthen after loss

  • manage strong emotions

  • improve feelings of self-worth and autonomy

  • improve mood and gain a sense of clarity

  • increase motivation

  • identify, develop and utilise strengths and resources

  • find meaning and purpose

  • reduce stress

  • enhance your relationships and create new ones

  • acquire valuable skills, and make well-informed decisions that align with your unique perspective and values.

 

 

 

 

 

Taking a holistic and humanistic approach, I believe in integrating the mind, body, spirit, relationships, and environment to promote well-being. Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience in various fields, including clinical mental health, perinatal mental health, child and family services, and youth and family counselling. This diverse background has provided me with a deep understanding of differing client experiences and the effective strategies that help individuals within the systems around them for sustainable, long-term change.

 

 

 

 

 

As a result, I have developed a specialisation in treating complex trauma. I also have experience working with parents during the perinatal period and with youth experiencing school disengagement.

 

 

 

 

 

I am lover of all things calm and grounding - nature, animals, cooking, board games, music, reading, meditation, yoga and spending time with my family and friends.

 

 

 

 

 

I look forward to the opportunity to support you to enhance your overall quality of life.
