Melanie hannam.

Psychologist

Whether you are returning to therapy or thinking about ​starting for the first time, Mel provides a space where you ​feel connected and supported as you work towards ​reaching your goals. Mel works with adults, teens, and ​parents of young children, offering evidence-based ​interventions that focus on the neurobiology of attachment ​and wellbeing.

Schema Therapy is Mel’s preferred approach. It provides a ​model for exploring how early experiences shape the way ​we function. She also utilises Solution-Focused Therapy, ​which is a more short-term intervention that shifts the ​focus from our problems to our existing strengths.

Mel believes that the best outcomes are achieved when ​therapy is approached as a collaborative process, ​prioritising connection and authenticity.

Early childhood and adolescence are critical stages for ​laying down the foundations of healthy brain ​development. The skills children develop during this time ​have a lifelong impact on mental health and wellbeing.

Our team is passionate about helping parents and carers ​feel empowered to support the developmental needs of ​their children by building on their existing strengths and ​skills. We believe that the best outcomes are achieved ​when parents and carers are actively involved in the ​therapeutic process as we work through challenges such ​as anxiety, depression, trauma, adjustment, attachment, ​neurodiversity, identity and self-harm.

Our psychologists are experienced in providing evidence-​based interventions for adults seeking support with a ​range of issues, including symptoms of anxiety, ​depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, phobias, interpersonal ​challenges and PTSD. Your goals for therapy will inform ​which approach we take and how we tailor strategies to ​your individual needs.

Our therapeutic approaches:

schema therapy

solution-focused brief therapy

acceptance & commitment therapy

dialectical behaviour therapy

interpersonal psychotherapy

cognitive behaviour therapy

what we cover:

assessing attachment and parenting style within the ​context of your own experience of childhood

providing education about the developmental ​neuroscience that underlies challenging behaviours

making changes and implementing strategies that ​are evidence-based and aimed at increasing ​connection, regulation, and playfulness

identifying and working through any barriers that ​arise in taking a new approach to parenting

Looking to the future and preparing for the ​challenges that come with later stages of life and ​development
