I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Malihe. From the very first session, I felt genuinely seen, heard, and valued. She has an incredible ability to create a safe, non-judgmental space, which made it easy for me to open up and address some deeply personal challenges & past traumas. Her compassionate yet insightful approach has helped me uncover patterns in my thinking and behavior that I hadn’t noticed before. Through our sessions, I’ve gained practical tools and a deeper understanding of myself, allowing me to make real progress both personally and professionally. I leave each session feeling supported, grounded, and hopeful. If you’re looking for a therapist who truly cares and can help guide you toward meaningful change, I highly recommend Melihe.

I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling and am a Level 3 registered member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA). With 15 years of professional experience, I specialize in helping clients manage stress and anxiety, resolve relationship issues, navigate family conflicts, and control anger.

I use a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to your unique needs, including:Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This method focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT encourages you to accept your thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty for them.

Mindfulness: By cultivating mindfulness, you can learn to stay present and engaged in the moment, reducing stress and enhancing emotional regulation.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): This approach helps to strengthen the emotional bond between partners by addressing attachment and

bonding issues.Gottman Method: Developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, this method is grounded in research and focuses on improving relationship stability and satisfaction.I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Taking the first step towards a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage, and I am here to support you in that journey. Our dialogue and treatment plan will be personalized to meet your specific needs, ensuring that you receive the best possible care.I am here to support you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
