The heart of Ground and Grow is to see your life feel balanced, meaningful, and grounded again.
More than just telehealth therapy, person-centered counselling nurtures the space that helps your wellbeing grow, so that you can live with steadiness, connection and clarity.
Combined with evidence-based strategies, my approach makes it easier for you to navigate life’s challenges with self-awareness and confidence
It feels authentic, genuine and heartfelt because we’re all about:
Clarity
Honest, gentle conversations bring understanding, and understanding leads to real change.
Confidence
Growing steadier in yourself, one grounded step at a time.
Calm
Space to slow down and think clearly, even when life feels full.
Courage &
Commitment
The strength it takes to reach out and do things differently, and the staying power to keep showing up.
Community
Connection and belonging, even through the screen. Your story matters here, and you're never doing it alone.
Hi, I'm Mel
It all started a few years ago, when my life became heavier than I could carry alone.
I was juggling career, family, farming, and community, with my own wellbeing last on the list.
Burnout reminded me that strength isn't about doing it all, it's about knowing when to pause, reflect, and seek support.
I'm a registered counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association, and I bring over a decade of experience working alongside people through change, challenge, and growth.
Now, I provide telehealth counselling and wellbeing support designed for life beyond the city...
where the spaces are wide open, the pace is real, and the people are resilient.
For rural and regional Australians who want to feel balanced, confident, and connected, Ground and Grow is a trusted space to slow down, reflect, and rediscover your strength.
I'm here to help you grow strong on steady ground
We’ll get on well if:
-
You value genuine, down-to-earth conversation.
-
Community and connection matter to you.
-
You want support that feels approachable, not clinical, grounded in real life and focused on steady growth.
