More You.
Understanding yourself changes everything.
You can begin with the change you have noticed. These experiences can overlap; they do not need to add up to a label before you reach out.
ADHD
You are working hard to keep up, yet focus, follow-through, or emotional regulation feel harder than they used to.
Perimenopause
Changes in energy, mood, memory, or stress tolerance are making daily life feel less familiar.
Anxiety
Everything feels like too much, and your mind has little room to settle.
Brain Fog
You lose your train of thought, forget what you came into the room for, or cannot find the clarity you rely on.
Life Transitions
A role, a relationship, career, or direction that once fit no longer feels straightforward.
You do not need certainty, a diagnosis, or perfect words to begin.
ADHD traits, hormonal change, anxiety, burnout, and life transitions can look and feel similar. Together we can make room to understand what is happening before deciding what comes next.
Find the support that fits now
Counselling support for women who are trying to understand changes in attention, emotional regulation, energy, identity, or capacity. Together we can explore ADHD, perimenopause, anxiety, burnout, or a life transition without assuming there is one simple explanation.
The work we do is practical, collaborative, and shaped around what you need now. Support can be ongoing or used when you need a place to think something through.
We focus on what is present, what may be contributing, and what could make life more manageable.
Individual Counselling
One-to-one support to make sense of what is happening and decide what may help.
Midlife Reset
Structured support for feeling less overwhelmed and more in control at this stage of life.
ADHD & Perimenopause Women's Support Group
A place for earning and connect with women experiencing something similar.
Meet Melissa
I'm Melissa, a registered counsellor, mother, and life-long learner, based in Unley, South Australia. I support women navigating neurodivergence, midlife, and life transitions, with a particular focus on ADHD, perimenopause, anxiety, and brain fog.
I bring a Master of Counselling and ACA Level 2 registration to work that stays grounded in real life. I want to help you notice your strengths, make sense of your experience, and find practical, sustainable ways forward.
A first session can be simple
There is no expectation to perform, explain everything perfectly, or arrive with a decision already made.
1.
Bring what is present
You can start with the thing that feels hardest, most confusing, or most tiring right now.
2.
Explore what may help
I will listen with you for patterns, pressures, and possibilities without rushing to a label.
3.
Decide on a next step together
Collaboratively, we can explore whether ongoing counselling, structured support, or another next step feels right.
If you are unsure whether to get in touch, these are good places to start.
