About Melanie

Melanie specialises in individual and Relationship Counselling in Sydney and has worked as a registered Psychologist for over 16 years, in a variety of public and private settings.  She has previously worked as a college guidance counsellor with children, teenagers, and their families, and understands the busy lifestyles many families lead in today’s day and age. For these reasons she facilitates Skype and phone sessions if face-to-face sessions are not possible.

She particularly loves working with couples and families, as she feels that having healthy relationships is essential to our overall happiness. Melanie has experience working with a variety of issues that couples and families face, such as communication breakdown and conflict, infidelity and issues with trust, achieving a satisfying sex life, separation and joining of families, and even to explore how to re-ignite the ‘spark’ in a romantic relationship.

More about Melanie

How many years counselling experience do you have?

Over 16 years

What are three strengths you have as a Psychologist/Counsellor?
  1. Compassion
  2. Meeting a client where they are in their journey
  3. Open mindedness
What is the most satisfying and fulfilling part of the work you do?

I feel privileged that people come and share their deepest concerns, worries, dreams and hopes and that I can provide a safe space for all the exploration of these things.

What’s an example of a couple you have helped the most?

We don’t often get to see the impact of the work we do because we don’t stay in touch with clients once our work has ended. One couple contacted me about five years after our therapy ended to thank me for the family that they were able to create thanks to the foundational work we did early in their relationship. They learnt how to ask for their needs to be met, to manage their defensiveness, to compromise and to connect even when they were hurt. They mentioned how proud they felt for the relationship they were role modelling to their child. I was very proud of them too.

Parking & Accessibility

There is metered parking just outside, or 2 hour free parking (5 minutes walk).
