About Melanie
My clients tell me they appreciate seeing a queer counsellor with personal lived experience in my focus areas: polyamory, ethical non-monogamy, and BDSM/kink. I love working with individuals, couples, or poly groups who are navigating these challenging but rewarding journeys.
I’ve also had my own struggles with climate change depression and anxiety and come out the other side. Now I work with clients who are managing climate change-related mental health issues through my weekly support group and individual counselling. If your worry about the climate crisis is causing you distress, you don’t need to suffer alone.
As a twice-divorced autistic lesbian single mom in my 40s, I know what it’s like to build one life and then completely change directions. I believe a lot of our unhappiness, anxiety and depression comes from trying to live in a way that is out of alignment with who we really are. In my counselling practice, I start with where you’re at, without judgment. We will explore your unique identity and circumstances and build a plan together to bring better alignment between yourself and those around you.
