Melina Windolf Counsellor

Melina is the director and founder at MelinaJBW Counselling Coaching Consulting. As a registered counsellor and neurotherapist based in the Lockyer Valley and Toowoomba, she is dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges and achieve greater mental health and wellbeing. With over a decade of experience in the field of counselling and a post graduate degree in Applied Neuroscience I am committed to providing a safe and supportive environment where individuals can explore their thoughts and feelings, develop coping strategies, and build resilience. My counselling approach is client-centered and strength-based, I work collaboratively with clients to understand their unique experiences and develop strategies that are tailored to their specific needs. I firmly believe that every individual has the capacity for personal growth, and that counselling can be a powerful tool for fostering positive change. My areas of specialisation include depression, anxiety, trauma, and grief and loss. I have extensive experience working with individuals who have experienced narcissistic abuse and religious or church abuse. In addition, I provide support and guidance to youth, couples, and parents navigating the challenges of adolescence, relationships, and parenting. As a counsellor, I am dedicated to providing a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their thoughts and feelings without fear of stigma or shame. I understand that seeking counselling can be a difficult decision, and I strive to make the process as comfortable and supportive as possible. My counselling sessions are tailored to the unique needs of each client, and I utilise a range of evidence-based techniques, neurotherapy, narrative therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions. I believe that a holistic approach to mental health is essential, and I encourage clients to explore the mind-body connection through practices such as neuro-cycles, somatic exercises and techniques that help to calm and re-connect the nervous system. My goal as a counsellor is to empower individuals to take control of their mental health and wellbeing and achieve greater fulfilment and happiness in their lives. Whether you are struggling with a specific issue or seeking greater self-awareness and personal growth, I am here to support you on your journey.

I look forward to hearing from you and supporting you on your path to greater mental health and wellbeing.
