About Me

Hi 

My name is Melissa, and I'm the counsellor at the Women's Well. My counselling work with women is gentle, reflective, and centres on what matters most to you. Through careful listening and shared exploration (I'm naturally very curious!), I support you in making sense of your experiences, reconnecting with your values, and finding ways forward that feel authentic and manageable.

 If you are looking for a steady, respectful space where your experiences are taken seriously and your voice is central, you're welcome here. We can move gently or more actively, always guided by what feels safest and most supportive for you.  I practice person-centred and narrative therapy. However, given the secular/humanistic nature of these modalities, I also offer counselling from a  Christian perspective, should you prefer. 

As a Christian myself, I want all of my clients to experience a calm, safe space where you can speak freely, feel deeply heard, and explore what's happening for you without judgement. 

I work with women from all walks of life and issues, including:

• relationship separation

• adoption

• family members of those who are incarcerated 

• grief 

• loss

• domestic violence

• church/religious hurt

I look forward to meeting you!
