About Melissa

Melissa supports clients who are experiencing relationship problems (family, work, or personal) including domestic violence, partners with addiction issues, and partners with narcissistic traits. Melissa is a credentialed eating disorder clinician and works together with your GP (medical monitoring) and dietitian (nutritional intervention) to provide comprehensive care. She supports clients with acute and chronic health concerns. Melissa is a wife and mother and can help with the often challenging adjustment of becoming a parent. She has first-hand experience navigating the complexities of blended families.

Melissa has worked in the Western Australian health industry for over 20 years, first as a registered nurse and now as a registered psychologist and gestalt psychotherapist. She has worked in hospitals, community and not-for-profit sectors, universities, and corporate business.

Melissa understands that reaching out to a therapist can often be stressful and she is very gentle and supportive in her approach. Melissa is respectful and empathetic, and she offers a warm and caring environment. Melissa can provide face to face appointments, telephone or online sessions for your convenience.
