Our Reviews
Words of praise by valued clients
“My daughter feeling comfortable going to counselling has put my mind at ease.”
Melissa has always been so welcoming and warm when working with my daughter through a stressful life transition. My daughter has always been shy, and seeing Melissa was no different at the start, but now she’s excited to get to play with Melissa every time, and can’t wait until her next appointment. Melissa is so flexible and met us where we were at and gradually built up the session to o work for all of us. My daughter feeling comfortable going to counselling has put my mind at ease.

“While others were dismissive, Melissa listened with empathy and took us seriously. My son was only 6 years old when they first met, but he instantly felt comfortable with her.”
My son has been seeing Melissa for a few years after experiencing traumatic life events. We were in a desperate situation. While others were dismissive, Melissa listened with empathy and took us seriously. My son was only 6 years old when they first met, but he instantly felt comfortable with her. He often asks, when do I get to see Melissa next? I know it’s incredibly valuable for his healing and growth to get this ongoing support. I’m so grateful he has a safe person to share with and explore complex feelings. It’s so important as a Mom to know I’ve done my best and Melissa is there for both of us. She is kind, sensitive, intelligent, and intuitive. Most importantly, she’s patient and finds creative ways to connect. I asked my son if he wanted to add something to the testimonial and he said, 5 stars! That sums it up well. Thank you, Melissa! It means a lot to have you on our team. Our family is so appreciative of all you do!

I would highly recommend Melissa as a family and individual counsellor. She made my family feel at ease right from the start. Melissa is flexible with her approach and adapted to my kids’ attention span, making our sessions interactive and engaging. Our family faces complex issues that Melissa is not afraid to take on. I’m extremely grateful for her support.

Why Choose Bee Here Counselling?
Bee Here Counselling offers a unique blend of traditional therapy and holistic healing approaches to support your complete mental wellness journey.
Client- Centered Approach
I believe that meaningful change begins with you. My approach is rooted in following
your lead—honouring your pace, your goals, and your unique story. Together, we co-create a path forward that reflects your values and inner wisdom, empowering growth from the inside out.
Safety and Respect
Safety is the foundation of any healing relationship. My priority is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and respected. I foster a strong therapeutic connection built on trust and non-judgment. This safe foundation allows you to explore difficult emotions, build resilience, create lasting change, and feel secure attachment.
Diverse Therapeutic Methods
To support your unique healing journey, I draw from a range of evidence-based and creative approaches:
CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) – Helps reframe unhelpful thought patterns and develop healthier emotional and behavioural responses.
DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) – Builds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Play-Based Therapy – Uses play as a natural form of expression for children to process emotions, develop coping skills, and build self-awareness in a safe and engaging environment.
Somatic Therapy – Focuses on the mind-body connection by helping clients tune into bodily sensations to gently release stored trauma, reduce anxiety, and restore nervous system balance.
