A Space for Healing, Growth & Transformation
The weight of past wounds, self-doubt, and old patterns can feel overwhelming, but it is possible to create something new for yourself, moving forward.
I help women who are ready to step into a new chapter, learn to love their wounded inner child, and rediscover their worth—without judgement, without shame, and without pressure to "just get over it."
The way things are, is not how they always have to be....
~ Mel Eden.
Counselling with me is a partnership—one built on trust, honesty, compassionate insight and a little bit of humour.
Together, we’ll explore what’s keeping you stuck, untangle the past, and find a way forward that feels right for you.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, I draw from a blend of Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed approaches inspired by Gabor Maté, Peter Levine, and other experts.
But more than that, I bring deep life experience, a down-to-earth approach, and a commitment to creating a safe, supportive space where real change happens.
I believe that everyone has the potential to lead a meaningful and fulfilling life. You and I. No matter who we are, what we've been through, whatever mistakes we've made, or however many traumas we carry. There has to be more to this journey, than our pain, regrets and challenges.
You don’t have to do this alone. Healing the past and rewriting your future is possible. When you’re ready, I’m here to help.
What's 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 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.
