Melissah Stubbs

Hi! I’m Mel,My journey into psychology started over 20 years ago and I have more than 15 years clinical experience. I've worked in some pretty varied environments and across many different areas including addiction, suicide, at risk youth, adult offenders, community and family vulnerabilities, public mental health as well as extensive work in relationship counselling. I take an empathic and holistic approach to understand, and then interpret, what my client’s issues seem to be. I am passionate about people and their thought processes and I've worked with a broad range of clients with a wide scope of issues including vicarious trauma, burn out, anxiety, depression, family violence, anger management and childhood trauma including sexual assault. I think being a mother has helped me to understand how we all operate in our perception of the world. I am currently working in the field of suicide prevention and management. I am an AHPRA registered supervisor and currently have a caseload of psychologists that I am supervising. I am passionate about giving back to the psychological community and this role is very important to me.
