My Approach

My Approach

I try to create a space where every person feels heard, understood and a little less alone in what they’re carrying

Melanie Cox

Mel is a registered psychologist known for creating a space where clients feel comfortable being themselves without judgement. She understands that seeking support can feel confronting, and she focuses first on building a strong, respectful therapeutic relationship before anything else.

She works with clients to make sense of what’s going on for them, understand their patterns, and develop practical ways to manage challenges, helping people move away from cycles of guilt, shame, and self-criticism toward a more balanced relationship with themselves. Mel has particular interest and experience in grief, addiction and recovery, and more complex or long-standing patterns, alongside her broader work in anxiety, depression, stress, adjustment and relationship difficulties.

Outside of Work

Mel is a mum who enjoys staying active, getting outdoors, camping, and music, and she brings that same sense of humour and real, grounded presence into the therapy room.
