Integrative and Autism-Informed Online Therapeutic Support
Melissa uses an integrative approach that combines techniques from different therapeutic traditions to meet each client where they are. In practice this means drawing on conversational, insight-oriented and practical strategies to address stress, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life transitions, adapting the mix to suit the individual’s needs.She also brings an autism-informed perspective to her work, which focuses on understanding sensory, communication and social differences and adjusting the pace and format of sessions accordingly. For clients who have experienced trauma or abuse, Melissa applies trauma-aware methods that prioritise safety, pacing and stabilising skills while working towards recovery and resilience.
Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Melissa will work with each client to explore what feels most helpful, adjusting techniques and goals as therapy progresses so that the plan reflects the client’s priorities and preferences.
