Hi there ! Thanks for clicking on my profile. I have over 20 years of practitioner experience, initially as a doctor working in mental health, then as a counsellor and presently, a psychologist and board approved supervisor. I will see Private, Medicare, NDIS, Workcover and Victims of Crime clients.
Finding self compassion is often the first step in moving towards improved mental health. My goal is to provide a safe, ethical and non-judgemental space where the client always comes first. I will honour your story and listen with compassion. Together we will collaborate to help reach your goals.
Feel free to email me about how I might be able to support you.
Call or Melanie Strang now for a free 15 minute consultation - (03) 7003 2841
