Difficult roads can lead to beautiful destinations

Kia ora my name is Mel and I offer Counselling, Couples Therapy and Life Coaching both online or in-person depending on your needs and preference. I have experience working with a wide range of issues and have a particular interest in addictions, trauma and abuse, communication and relationship issues, boundaries, grief, and mental well-being.

I know that finding the right counsellor is crucial, so I work hard to create a safe and confidential space where people feel heard and validated. My clients can explore their thoughts and emotions in that safe space while finding the best solutions for themselves. I believe that with the proper support, a listening ear, and the right strategies, people have the potential to grow, heal, and experience meaningful change and empowerment.

In practice, I work holistically and tailor my approach to meet each client’s needs. I use many skills and modalities, including CBT, Narrative Therapy, ACT, and Couples Therapy.

I also offer life coaching and mentoring sessions for those who want to change their lives, find new directions, improve themselves, or navigate life transitions.
