Melanie is passionate about supporting individuals in living their best life. Melanie specialises in grief, loss, stress management, post separation parenting, and end-of-life counselling. Melanie draws on deep insights from her study, and professional & personal life experience to apply much empathy, wisdom and warmth in supporting her clients to achieve their therapy goals. While she is able to provide perspective from her Christian faith and as a Minister of Religion (Anglican tradition) Melanie warmly welcomes clients from all backgrounds, beliefs, and life experiences.

Melanie’s counselling approach is centred on creating a safe, respectful, and supportive environment where each client can openly explore their own values, beliefs, questions, and personal journey without judgement. She is committed to meeting clients where they are, offering empathy, understanding, and professional care tailored to their individual needs.

Melanie is familiar with supporting healthcare workers, hospital patients and their loved ones from her two+ decades in hospital chaplaincy, serving as the palliative care chaplain to her local hospital.

Outside of work, Melanie enjoys maintaining a healthy physical and mental balance including outdoor activities with family and friends and spending time with her young grandchildren.
