Online Hakomi Psychotherapy

My work has given me the privilege of working with a wide range of people with differing backgrounds and circumstances with whatever brings them to therapy: low mood, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, repeating patterns, grief, and addictions. Sometimes people don’t know what brings them to therapy. They might not feel right, and have a need for clarity – therapy is often a great place for addressing this.

Somatic Integrative Sessions, Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy (as a 3rd year student of Hakomi). Life path direction coaching sessions.

As a parent, teacher and student of Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy, I bring a warm, attachment-centred approach to healing. With decades of experience in yoga therapy, contemplative movement, and mindfulness, I support people struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, and addiction through body-based, experiential therapy. Drawing from Internal Family Systems and trauma-informed practices, I create a safe space where you can reconnect with your body's innate wisdom and return home to your authentic self.

You're welcome for individual and couples counselling. I am committed to providing a safe and understanding environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. Let’s work together towards your well-being.

Hi, I’m Mel. I’m a somatic therapist trained in Hakomi Somatic Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and traditional psychotherapy. I’m drawn to experiential approaches that trust a person’s inner wisdom and natural capacity for healing. I aim to work collaboratively, with warmth, humour, and integrity. Sessions blend conversation with gentle, present-moment exploration to help you understand your experience more fully and support meaningful, embodied change.

I provide a safe and warm container for people to be themselves, encouraging personal growth and healing with kindness and compassion. My work is a gentle, body-centred therapy where you are supported to slow down and access healing through embodied connection and heartfelt listening.
