Welcome to Melissa White Counselling
At Melissa White Counselling, I believe every person regardless of age deserves to be seen, heard, and supported. I provide compassionate, evidence-based counselling for children, adolescents, and adults, right here in the heart of the Southern Highlands.
Counselling Services
I can support individuals and families in person at my counselling space or online via Zoom.
Play Therapy
My practice offers a variety of play therapy approaches, including art therapy, sand tray therapy, and AutPlay. Participating in these creative activities helps children build resilience, improve communication skills, strengthen their sense of self-worth, and better manage their emotions contributing to their overall wellbeing. Through toys, art, stories, and games, children can share their thoughts, feelings, fears, and hopes in a safe and supportive environment.
Child and Adolescent Counselling
I am passionate about supporting children, young people and their families through life’s challenges. I take a holistic, evidence-based approach, tailoring therapy to each child’s unique strengths, needs, and experiences. My goal is to create a safe and welcoming space whether in person or online where children and teens can express themselves, build resilience, and develop practical coping skills. I work closely with families, recognising the important role you play in your child’s growth and wellbeing, and I am committed to helping your child thrive.
Adult Counselling
My approach is grounded in person-centred, neuro-affirming and strengths-based practice drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. I believe in creating a safe, collaborative space where you can explore your story, build on your inner resources, and move towards meaningful change at your own pace. Together, we’ll work to help you reconnect with your values, discover new perspectives, and develop practical strategies that promote your overall wellbeing.
My Approach to Counselling
For Children & Young People
Every child is unique, so I tailor my sessions to suit their individual needs. Whether through
play, art, or talking, I support children and young people explore their feelings, overcome challenges, and build resilience in a way that feels comfortable and empowering.
Therapeutic Approaches
I use a range of evidence -based approaches that are person-centred, strengths-based and neuro affirming. Some of the approaches include, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT),
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Trauma-Informed approaches, Narrative Therapy, and Emotional
Interviewing—all aimed at supporting individuals and families to thrive.
Supporting Families
Parents and caregivers play a vital role in the lives of children and young people and I understand the need to work collaboratively to share insights, offer guidance, and develop strategies so you can support your child's growth and wellbeing at home.
Flexible Ways to Connect
I can support individuals and families in person at my counselling space or online via Zoom.
