Mele Smallwood

For 5 years, I’ve provided a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can feel seen, heard, and understood. I wholeheartedly believe that each person is the expert of their own experiences and has the capacity for positive change. While I work with a variety of concerns, such as anxiety, relationship challenges, and low self-esteem, I’m particularly passionate about supporting adults who are navigating the impacts of childhood trauma/complex trauma. My goal is to help you meet yourself with compassion, cultivate healthier relationships, improve your emotional regulation skills, and gain a deeper understanding of the patterns that may be keeping you stuck so that you can move forward in your life feeling empowered.

My approach to counselling is relational, integrative, and trauma-informed; I tailor my approach to each client and place a strong emphasis on relationship building, autonomy, trust, and feelings of safety. Different approaches work for different people, and you deserve support that is unique to you. If you’re feeling lost or disconnected, I’d love to help you reconnect with yourself and show up in your life in a way that feels true to you.
