Therapy that supports Mind, Body & Nervous System
I take a holistic and compassionate approach that integrates evidence-based cognitive, somatic and nervous system-informed therapies. Together, we will explore the connection between your mind, body and nervous system while considering the broader factors that influence mental health and wellbeing.

I believe that mental health is about more than what happens in our minds. Our emotions, nervous system, physical health, biology, relationships, environment and life experiences all play an important role in shaping how we feel and respond to the world. By developing a deeper understanding of the factors contributing to your wellbeing, we can identify meaningful areas for support and create more effective, lasting change.
My approach is holistic, compassionate and tailored to you. Together, we will work to better understand your experiences through the lens of science, biology and the nervous system, helping to make sense of symptoms, emotions and patterns that may no longer be serving you. We will explore and process underlying factors contributing to distress while developing practical tools to support both psychological and physical wellbeing. I draw on a range of evidence-based cognitive, somatic, trauma and nervous system-informed approaches, adapting support to your unique needs, goals and circumstances.

Hi, I'm Mel.
I'm an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and founder of Anxiety & Wellness Clinic. I have over 10 years of experience supporting adolescents and adults across a range of mental health settings.
My goal is to create a warm, genuine and non-judgemental space where you feel heard, supported and understood. I believe therapy should feel collaborative, compassionate and tailored to your unique needs, helping you work towards meaningful and lasting change.

I support adolescents and adults experiencing a range of mental health and wellbeing concerns. Whether this is your first time seeking support or you've worked with a mental health professional before, I will meet you where you are and tailor therapy to your unique needs and goals.
While every person's experience is different, I commonly support people experiencing anxiety, stress, overwhelm, panic, intrusive thoughts, burnout, trauma-related concerns, low mood, life transitions and challenges with nervous system regulation. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where we can better understand your experiences and work towards meaningful, lasting change.
