Mel | Counsellor & Couples Therapist
Introduction
Hi, my name is Mel. I am a Counsellor, Couple's Therapist, and Life Coach with experience working with a wide range of issues.
I know firsthand that finding the right Counsellor is crucial, so I work hard to create a confidential space where couples can unpack and explore their thoughts and emotions while finding solutions.
I work practically and holistically, tailoring my approach to the needs of each individual or couple, and I will work with you to achieve the best possible outcome.
Areas of Work:
- Addiction recovery support
- Anger management
- Anxiety and depression
- Burnout, stress and trauma
- Eating disorders and body image
- Family harm and sexual abuse
- Loss, bereavement and grief
- Mental and emotional distress
- Personal growth and development
- Relationship issues
- Self-esteem and self-worth
- Women’s health and wellbeing
About Me
I am originally from Wellington but moved to the beautiful Bay of Plenty about 20 years ago. I am married to my husband of 25 years and have one son and three grandchildren.
As well as raising my son, I have had a varied career in management and sales before pursuing my lifelong dream of becoming a counsellor.
I enjoy reading good books, watching movies, keeping active, spending time with friends and family, eating out and walking in nature.
If you want to know more or make an appointment, feel free to contact me.
