Melissiah is a clinical hypnotherapist, counsellor, and registered provisional psychologist (not practising as a psychologist in this setting). With a warm, person-centred, and evidence-based approach, she is dedicated to helping clients achieve lasting mental well-being. Her primary focus is on stress management and sleep-wake disorders, which are often closely linked with anxiety, depression, and trauma.
In addition, Melissiah supports clients recovering from religious trauma, particularly those leaving high-demand, high-control religious groups. She has volunteered in various mental health settings, offering guidance to individuals experiencing grief, loss, and the challenges of deconstructing their faith.
As a strong advocate for psychoeducation, Melissiah creates informative mental health and hypnotherapy resources, including free and low-cost downloads available on her website. She understands that finding the right therapist is an important step, which is why she offers a free 20-minute initial consultation. This session provides an opportunity to discuss your concerns, learn more about her therapeutic approach, and explore whether you'd be a good fit to work together.
