Melissa Halliwell | Compassionate, Evidence-Based Counselling in Bendigo & Online
Welcome. If you are navigating life’s challenges, managing overwhelming emotions, or moving through a significant season of change, you don’t have to carry it alone.
As an Accredited Member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA), I provide an inclusive, safe, and deeply supportive space for clients from all walks of life. Whether you are exploring aspects of your sexuality, managing a mental health condition, or facing a major life adjustment, I am here to help you find clarity and lasting peace.
My Therapeutic Approach
I believe that everyone has an inherent ability to heal and grow. Because no two individuals are the same, I tailor my practice to your unique needs using evidence-based therapies, including but not limited to:
Person-Centred & Trauma-Informed Care (putting your safety and voice first)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
A Grounded, Unique Perspective on Healthcare & Aging
Before becoming a counsellor, I spent years working as a Registered Nurse. This background gives me a deep, grounded understanding of family care, disability, and complex health issues.
My practice is entirely inclusive and welcoming to all individuals, no matter your background. I provide a safe, affirming space for everyone, whether you are managing daily anxiety, navigating relationships, exploring identity and sexuality, or adapting to major health changes.
Location & Availability (New face to face clinic space coming soon in Bendigo)
I proudly support individuals and families across the Bendigo, Castlemaine, and Macedon Ranges regions, as well as clients Australia-wide via convenient Telehealth.

A Grounded Approach to Life’s Challenges
My counselling style combines deep empathy with practical structure. I am highly effective at helping people break through mental blocks and develop the inner strength needed to achieve their personal goals.
My unique framework is shaped by two distinct chapters of my life:
15 Years in the Australian Army: This experience taught me the true meaning of resilience and honed my skills in crisis management, adaptability, and clear goal-setting—tools that I now use to help everyday individuals find stability in their own lives.
Certified Trainer, Assessor & Community Volunteer: My extensive background in training and local volunteer work has given me a deep understanding of human connection and the diverse challenges faced by people in our local communities.
