Booked a few sessions at Melanie’s Ocean Grove clinic and I’ve noticed real changes in how I handle my anxiety. The CBT exercises are practical, and she explains things in a way that just makes sense. Highly recommend for anyone in the Bellarine area.
I went to Melanie for couples therapy and it’s been a game changer for us. She kept us grounded and gave us tools to communicate better. The Ocean Grove setting on Guthridge Street feels calm and private, which helps.
Very grateful for Melanie’s approach. Her sessions in Ocean Grove have helped my daughter with anxiety by focusing on practical CBT strategies. The family therapy option was also a relief for our whole household.
Finally found a psychologist in VIC who gets how tough anxiety can be. Melanie is warm, respectful, and the individual therapy sessions are tailored to my pace. I feel more in control after each visit.
I’ve tried a few counsellors around Geelong, but Melanie stands out. The CBT framework she uses is practical, and the exercises are easy to fit into a busy week. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to friends in Ocean Grove.
As someone new to therapy, I appreciated Melanie’s clear explanations and supportive manner. The anxiety management sessions have given me tools I can actually use day-to-day, especially living near Torquay and dealing with seasonal stress.
We came for couples therapy and left with a better understanding of each other. Melanie’s guidance was steady and non-judgemental. If you’re in the Surf Coast area, she’s worth checking out.
