Find peace, clarity, and a path back to you....



  At Hunter Valley Walk and Talk, I offer you something a little different to the standard counselling experience.  Working together, you'll discover a safe, grounded space for you to explore your potential for healing and growth through developing deeper self-awareness, finding your voice, and finally putting yourself first.


 Through one-on-one counselling, I help you: 


  • Untangle the chaos. I’ll help you make sense of the overwhelm, identify what’s really holding you back, and work with you to create a way forward that feels right for YOU.


  • Explore your inner world. Whether you’re reflecting on old wounds or navigating life’s next chapter, I offer a supportive space for you to dig deep and rediscover yourself.


  • Feel truly seen. I keep things real and relatable. I don’t believe in putting on a front—I’ve faced my own struggles and know the courage it takes to grow.


  • Trust the process. My calm confidence in your potential means you’ll always feel supported, no matter where you’re at in your journey.


Whether we meet outdoors, surrounded by the grounding energy of nature, or connect via Zoom from the comfort of your home, I’ll help you transform confusion into clarity, doubt into confidence, and pain into possibility.


You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. Together, we’ll work towards the peace, clarity, and self-worth you’ve been searching for.


 You don’t need fixing. More than anything what all of us need is someone who sees us, listens without judgement, and helps us to navigate our own path forward.


 If you’re ready for things to change, hit the “Book Now” button, and let’s get started. 


The way things are, is not how they have to stay.  Together, let’s uncover what else is possible.

What will you do with your one wild and precious life?

What's so great about outdoor therapy?


 Nature therapy offers a unique space where healing can unfold in ways that a traditional office will rarely match. Here are a few reasons why so many women find outdoor therapy to be a truly transformative experience:


  1. Emotional Release in a Safe, Open Space
    Being in nature helps you feel more at ease and free from judgement. The calming environment makes it easier to release pent-up emotions and talk openly, allowing your feelings to flow without the constraints of a four-walled room.
  2. Stress Reduction and Deep Relaxation
    Nature has an amazing,  scientifically proven, ability to help reduce stress and improve emotional well-being. The quiet rhythms of the outdoors lower cortisol levels, making it easier to let go of anxiety, for a while and find peace in the present moment.
  3. Clearer Mind, Fresh Perspective
    The vastness of the outdoors allows for a mental reset, giving you the space you need to reflect, think deeply, and gain new insights into your life and healing journey.
  4. Connection to Your True Self
    Nature invites you to slow down and reconnect with yourself. Whether it’s the sound of birds or the feel of the earth beneath your feet (clients often love to take their shoes off), the natural world fosters a deep sense of reflection and helps you rediscover parts of you that may have been buried under stress or life’s distractions.
  5. Strengthened Resilience and Growth
    Nature is a constant reminder that growth is a journey. Just like the trees that shed their leaves each year and grow anew, nature based therapy helps you process life’s challenges, build resilience, and step into your next chapter with confidence and strength.


Whether you’re seeking emotional release, clarity, or simply a fresh perspective, outdoor therapy helps you unlock the healing power of nature while fostering a deeper connection with yourself. 

 

What is so different about working with me?


I believe that healing happens within the context of a safe and supportive relationship. You will not feel like a 'number' when we work together. Even though this is a boundaried and professional relationship, that doesn't mean it needs to be devoid of humanity and genuine connection.


Additionally, my sessions are longer than the standard - we meet for 70 minutes (there are 90 minute options for those who would prefer), and I don't book people in back to back. This gives you adequate time and space to get the most from your session, and you know that when you meet me, my mind is fresh and ready to be present with YOU.

Hi, I’m Mel. Since early 2018, I’ve been dedicated to supporting women through their unique journeys, bringing both professional training along with empathy and deep compassion to the table. 


My background in Counselling and Community Services, combined with hands-on work in mental health and with victim-survivors of DV, along with my own life's challenges, including where I am today - a couple of years away from 50 and holding on tight through the peri-menopausal roller coaster ride (iykyk), means I kinda get the depth and complexity of the human experience and in particular, a woman's experience. 


Want to know more about my approach? You can listen to my conversation on the Sacred Ground podcast or explore my story on the ‘About’ page.


Let’s start a meaningful conversation and work together towards your personal growth.
