Melissa Connell, PsyD
Clinical psychologist
Brisbane QLD
I believe therapy can play an important role in helping you to make sense of your thoughts, feelings and behaviours and how you have been affected by what's happened in your life. Most people who are experiencing psychological and emotional problems have had stressful or traumatic life experiences. I aim to help you process and heal from those experiences and learn ways to cope with difficult thoughts and feelings when they arise.
I have worked in a range of different capacities in the mental health field for over 15 years which has helped me to understand what causes mental health problems and the types of strategies and approaches that can help people to feel better. I have worked with alcohol and other drug and mental health services to develop and present trauma-informed care training and I incorporate trauma-informed care into my individual work with clients.
