Melissa Halliwell: Counselling for Life’s Challenges and Lasting Peace.
Serving the Bendigo, Castlemaine, Macedon Ranges region and telehealth; Melissa, an Accredited Member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA), offers compassionate support for individuals and families facing stress, anxiety, and life transitions. We believe in your inherent ability to heal and grow.
While Melissa's practice is focused on mental well-being,growth clarity, her background as a Registered Nurse with deep experience in family care and complex health issues (like aging and disability) provides a unique, grounded perspective for all clients.
As a Registered Nurse, Counsellor, and Reiki Master, I bridge the gap between clinical reality and spiritual compassion. I support those navigating aged care, terminal illness, and grief, reframing life’s final transitions as sacred journeys.
If you are navigating a difficult transition or seeking support for a loved one, I invite you to reach out for a confidential 15-minute discovery call. Let’s explore how we can walk this path together with dignity and grace.
