Welcome to Dr Melanie Marx Counselling
A space where you can heal, grow, and find meaning. Whether you are navigating a difficult life transition, struggling with loss, or feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns
I provide a compassionate and practical approach to counselling and coaching.
My approach is integrative, person-centered, and deeply empathetic
Teen Coaching & Counselling
Teenagers today face incredible pressure—to fit in, to perform, to make sense of who they are. This phase of life is shaped by the search for identity, autonomy, and belonging.
I support teens in:
Building self-confidence and managing anxiety
Strengthening resilience in the face of challenges
Navigating family conflicts and peer relationships
Exploring future goals and career direction
Assessments for subject choices and career possibilities
Grief & Trauma Counselling
Loss, whether sudden or expected, changes everything. Trauma often leaves individuals feeling powerless and disconnected.
I offer:
A safe space to process grief at your own pace.
Tools to work through past trauma without being consumed by it
.
Support in making sense of loss and finding a way forward.
While pain is inevitable, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Healing happens when you are truly seen, heard, and supported.
Adult Counselling
As adults, we often feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve us—whether in relationships, careers, or personal beliefs. Frankl’s work teaches us that suffering without meaning leads to despair, while suffering with purpose becomes transformative.
I support adults in:
Navigating identity shifts, career changes, and personal crises
Processing past traumas and redefining self-worth
Overcoming feelings of guilt, self-doubt, or “not being enough”
Creating a meaningful life through conscious choices and self-awareness
Family Counselling
Family relationships are complex, shaped by communication patterns, generational beliefs, and unspoken expectations.
I help families:
Break unhealthy cycles and improve communication.
Navigate major life transitions, including divorce, blended families, and grief.
Strengthen emotional connections between parents, children, and partners.
Establish boundaries that promote respect and understanding.
Parent Guidance
Parenting can feel overwhelming, especially in today’s fast-changing world. Parenting is both deeply rewarding and incredibly challenging. Many parents feel:
✅ Stuck in power struggles with their child
✅Unsure of how to support their teen’s independence
✅Overwhelmed by behavioral or emotional difficulties
I help parents:
✅ Understand and respond to
their child’s emotional needs.
✅
Manage behavioral challenges with confidence.
✅
Create a home environment that fosters connection and security.
Career Guidance & Assessment
Choosing a career path or making a career change can feel overwhelming, especially in a rapidly evolving world. Career satisfaction is deeply tied to our sense of purpose, personal strengths, and life values.
I assist individuals in:
Exploring career options aligned with their personality and interests
Understanding strengths and potential career matches through assessments
Developing confidence in decision-making and transitioning into new roles
Addressing career-related anxiety, self-doubt, or uncertainty
