What Clients & Families Say

"The most helpful thing was the child-tailored activities. Rather than listing my compulsions in a boring table, Mel gave me visuals like the 'Vicious to Virtuous Flowers' and 'OCD Monster' drawing. The exposure (ERP) work allowed me to physically interact with things that caused my compulsions. I went from avoiding tasks to over time reducing my OCD behaviours almost entirely. She is never pushy or rude, and always all ears."

"Mel is one of the only people I’ve ever been able to fully talk to about everything going on in my life without fearing a bad reaction or a patronising response. She didn't treat me like I was fragile, but rather like someone you’ve known for years, which helped me open up and trust her. Showing humanity is vital in therapy, and Mel never makes you feel like you're being lectured."
— 14 Year old (Depression treatment)

"I usually find it quite hard to talk to people I am not familiar with, but Mel made me feel very comfortable right away. The most helpful part was the weekly tasks she set me and how focused our sessions were."

— 12 Year Old (Anxiety & Worry)

"Talking to Mel was ok and I felt at ease with her. I might not have always been engaging at first, but I took everything in and found all my sessions went well."

"Mel has been an incredible support. She always listened, tried to help her overcome her anxiety, and is incredibly age-appropriate and brilliant in what she does."

"To Mel, Thank you much for always being there for me when times were tough. From when we first met, to now, you really have changed my life. I wouldn't be where I am today without you. I am going to miss you so so so much!"

— 12 year Old (Anxiety)

"To Mel, Thank you very very much for the sessions they have really helped me evolve as a man and conquered many fears. Thanks to you I have achieved many things, going on the underground, sleeping in the dark, walking down the road. And I think it is time for me to take these skills into the real world. And I thank you for the sessions, the chats and conversations, and understanding. I hope the next kid you inspire be as inspired as I am."

— 12 Year Old (Generalised Anxiety)

"To Mel, Thank you for being an amazing therapist!!! I've completely changed (for the good) since I started sessions!!! I wish you tons of luck with whatever you do in the future!!!"
