Hey, I’m Mel.
I provide a warm and safe mental health space for people living in the Pilbara
Why work with me
My passion is enabling clients to gain awareness, understanding and / or the tools to be able to move through life’s intricate problems.
It is important to me that clients feel seen, heard and understood.
I value treatment that is holistic, individualised and collaborative. As well as culturally appropriate, and inclusive.
I am a down-to-earth and nurturing Psychologist, who brings both an honest and compassionate approach to working with clients.

FAQ
-
There are three ways in which you can engage with me:
1. Self-Refer/ No Referral - This means you don’t require a referral from a GP. If you chose to engage in this way, you may be eligible for a rebate from your Private Health Insurer.
2. Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) – A MHCP can be obtained from a GP or Psychiatrist. Having a MHCP entitles you to a maximum of 10 sessions per calendar year, in which you receive a Medicare rebate for each of the sessions.
3. NO COST services are currently provided to clients of Reach Us - Pilbara. Please see the Services tab for further information.
