Hi, I'm Melissiah. Are you looking for affordable counselling with minimal wait times, so you can access support when you need it most? Many of my clients arrive feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck. They're often struggling with sleep issues, anxiety, stress, or grief—and feel like they’ve run out of ways to make things better. If you're ready to feel more like yourself again and start moving forward, I’m here to help. And as I believe everyone deserves access to mental health support, I also offer a range of free and low-cost resources on my website. You might have already seen some of these featured on my profile.
I work primarily with clients experiencing insomnia. My 4-session insomnia program blends CBT-I and hypnotherapy to target poor sleep, while also addressing any coexisting issues such as anxiety, depression, and trauma. Tailored to your individual needs, it offers a structured, evidence-based path to quiet the mind and encourage deep restorative sleep.
Reaching out for support isn’t always easy, especially if you’ve been struggling on your own for a long time. But therapy can really make a difference. Imagine feeling calm and clear-headed again—sleeping better, worrying less, and feeling more like yourself. Please give me a call or visit my website to book a free 20-minute initial zoom consultation.

I work with clients experiencing chronic insomnia, often complicated by stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma, or other issues. Treatment involves careful consideration of contributing, perpetuating, and protective factors, and your plan may include homework between sessions. Most clients begin to notice symptoms easing within the first fortnight, with continued improvement over time.
