what we do at true self space

We provide mental health counselling and psychotherapy for adolescents and young adults in Melbourne, offering a compassionate approach to mental health, and creating a safe space to explore emotions, thoughts and behaviours.

​

Counselling with Melanie focuses deeply on building a strong therapeutic relationship, and creating a collaborative environment that is rooted in curiosity and compassion. ​We go beyond the surface, guiding you to connect with, understand and foster a more authentic relationship with your True Self. Melanie specialises in relational therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS) Psychotherapy.

Counselling for Teens and Young Adults

Navigating the teenage and early adulthood years can be challenging, filled with intense emotions, and rapid changes. Individuals often face a range of emotional and psychological challenges, from stress, depression and anxiety, to navigating self-esteem, relationships, and identity. 

 

In this space, you are invited to express yourself freely. Whether you are navigating life's challenges or seeking a deeper connection with yourself, the creation of a safe and nurturing environment will support you to deeply explore who you are, and develop meaningful connection and long-lasting change.​

We were never meant to."
