Mrs Mel Denniston (nee Sykes) Psychologist

Overview

I am a generally registered psychologist with over 10 years experience working with a variety of clients. I approach my work from a holistic place working with a whole of person view. As a clinician I am client focused and tailor my approach to suit my clients needs. I like to understand you as a person. What you already know, what you've tried before, what has worked and what hasn't. I want to equip my clients with a toolbox of strategies to ride this rollercoaster of life with.
