Therapists in T6C

I'm a dedicated professional, committed to personal growth and helping others. I began my journey in 2012, gaining valuable experience in various settings, including community health organizations, hospices, and primary schools. My empathetic approach is impactful for individuals dealing with stress, depression, anxiety, parenting, relationships, anger, and grief. I draw from techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness, empowering individuals to heal and rewrite their life stories.

Supporting others begins with the presence of a safe space of openness and acceptance that facilitates a client’s innate yearning for healing, growth, and self actualization. My own journey has led me to the joy, mystery, and wonder of self discovery, the healing experience of healthy relationships, and finding meaning and purpose in life. The enjoyment in my work as a therapist comes from guiding clients on their journey to discover what brings them joy and to help them reconnect to their inner resources – their strengths, wholeness, peace, deeper nature, and internal guidance and wisdom.

Everyone has the innate capacity to heal and transform. I see my task as offering a safe, skilled and authentic relational space in which that might occur. I offer a highly individualized and integrative approach to help you bring more balance, resilience, meaning and flourishing into your life - to call forth and nurture your true potential. I have over 15 years of experience in individual, couple, group and family counselling and have worked with all age groups and with many different mental health issues and challenges. However, I see everyone as completely unique and needing their own particular co-created path to healing.

Recognizing that it takes courage to reach out for help, I provide a safe, non-judgmental and supportive environment to nurture healing, learn new skills and foster hope. I love helping people to connect with their own strengths in order to make the changes they desire. My approach is one of compassion, respect and a fundamental belief in the goodness of people.

Hello! My person-centered approach influences the therapy I offer clients, allowing the opportunity for emotional processing and self-exploration and growth in a non-judgmental atmosphere. My practice includes therapy for adults of all ages and genders, adolescents, individuals, couples and families. My clinical expertise is in treating clients who are living with a variety of issues such as depression, self-harm, grief and loss, abuse and trauma, stress, self-esteem concerns, and interpersonal struggles, relationship, marriage and family difficulties, LGBTQ+ and sexuality, addictions and substance abuse, and personality and mood disorders (i.e. bi-polar disorder), and anxiety.

I work with children, teens, adults and couples facing life transitions, coping problems or mental health concerns. Depression and anxiety is very common, but I also work with loss, health concerns and family problems.Therapy is about change, but it is not about changing who we are. The person we are meant to be has been here all along. Sometimes we need help to reconnect. I work with my clients to explore patterns of behavior and thought that can keep us in small and narrow places, and to reconnect to our wiser, balanced and more joyful self.

Welcome! I am an empathetic, caring, and down-to-earth person, who is genuinely interested in supporting you through your journey in counselling. It is important to me that while we work together, you feel supported and accepted. Humor and sensitivity are key ingredients in establishing a successful working relationship. I believe that no two people are the same. As such, you can expect that my approach to your counselling will be as unique as you are.

Hello and welcome! My name is Melanie and I am a student psychology intern currently offering low-cost therapy at Strathearn Psychology. I am passionate about cultivating therapeutic spaces that allow you to show up exactly as you are, and consider it the ultimate privilege to sit with people on their journey of self-discovery. My areas of interest include grief and loss, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, exploration of gender/sexual identity, the process of differentiation, faith transitions, as well as the stress and overwhelm of motherhood and the journey of identity (re)discovery that comes along with it.

Life isn't always easy and it doesn't always give us what we expect. We can find ourselves consumed with worry and spiraling thoughts or feeling so low and unmotivated, even getting out of bed seems tough. We can reel from the mental load and exhaustion that comes with chronic pain or chronic illness and feel overwhelmed or burdened with grief and loss or life transitions. We can be hard on ourselves and sometimes struggle to meet our goals. Things might feel hopeless - like they'll never get better. But you don't have to travel these roads alone.

The decision to start therapy is a courageous first step towards understanding, healing and growth. Whether you struggle with relationships, persistent troubling thoughts or feelings, are overwhelmed by events that are out of your control or just want to get in touch with a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in your life, therapy can help.

Are you feeling stuck and what you are used to doing isn’t working anymore? Are you ready to take the next step towards creating a happier life for yourself and in your relationships? Using a positive, strength and thought-based psychological approach; I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to help them achieve their goals and move in a healthier direction. I can help you work on building and adapting your current life skills and abilities to generate healthy skill-sets to reach your personal goals and increase success in your daily life, relationships and career.

I believe people experience psychological/emotional suffering because they are not able to relate deeply enough to certain aspects of themselves. This disconnection causes "symptoms" and pain. Depression and anxiety are the most common, but they can further develop into problems with identity, addictions, anger, suicidal feelings, despair, problems in relationships, personality disorders etc. To relieve suffering and to further ones personal development, a deeper connection with self is needed. The clients I usually work with are people who feel thwarted in their attempts to be happy, have satisfying relationships, achieve success.
