Mel Hannam is a Registered Psychologist who works with adults, offering trauma-informed therapy in a warm, supportive, and collaborative space. Her approach is strengths-based and person-centred, helping clients work towards change that feels meaningful and aligned with their values.
Mel brings experience from education and disability settings and a strong interest in how early experiences shape the way we think, feel, and relate to others as adults. She supports people who want to understand long-standing patterns, feel less stuck, and make changes that support their wellbeing and relationships.
Mel’s work is grounded in Schema Therapy, which helps people make sense of emotional patterns and unmet needs, and gently process the impact of past experiences. She also draws on Solution Focused Therapy, supporting clients to identify strengths, set clear goals, and take practical steps forward at a pace that feels manageable.
Mel is mindful of how modern life, societal pressure, and intergenerational experiences can affect mental health. She commonly supports adults experiencing stress, burnout, emotional exhaustion, low self-worth, and difficulties with connection or identity.
Mel sees therapy as a shared process and values working alongside clients with care, authenticity, and respect.
