Meet Mel |Clinical Counsellor

I’m a Masters qualified clinical counsellor registered with PACFA.

My philosophy is simple: therapy should give you a clear sense of direction from the start, alongside a long-term strategy. It’s not just about managing your symptoms week-to-week—it’s about understanding exactly what is driving them so you can create lasting, meaningful change.

To do this effectively, I look at the whole picture—your daily stressors, your health, your history, and your relationships. This holistic view helps us figure out exactly where things are breaking down and how to best support your progress.

Working with Individuals

When we work together individually, we’ll look at the repeating thoughts, habits, and emotional patterns that are keeping you stuck. A big part of this process is safely unpacking the heavy stuff or the blind spots you might have been pushing aside—not to judge them, but to understand them clearly so they stop running the show. My goal is to ensure you feel genuinely seen, respected, and supported as we map out a clear path forward.

Working with Couples

When working with couples, my role is to help you both slow down, hit pause on the cycle, and look at the facts of your relationship. Together, we pinpoint the exact dynamics and old communication breakdowns that are keeping you stuck in the same arguments. We work practically on recognising and clearly communicating your needs, stripping away the guesswork, and building concrete, reliable ways to reconnect.
