Life’s challenges can often leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and struggling to find balance. If you’re grappling with trauma, stress, anxiety, or depression, you don’t have to face these difficulties alone. I’m Melanie Clyde, Dip.SW, RSW, a Registered Social Worker with over 20 years of experience dedicated to supporting individuals in their journey towards self-regulation and holistic healing.

My unique approach combines traditional social work practices with healing modalities, offering a comprehensive path to wellness that addresses the intricate connections between body, mind, and spirit.

In our work together, we’ll explore how your experiences have shaped your current state, and develop strategies for self-regulation that encompass body, mind, and spirit. Whether through talk therapy, somatic exercises, or gentle touch work, our sessions will be tailored to your unique needs and comfort level.

My journey in the helping profession began over two decades ago, driven by a passion for understanding the profound connections between our physical, emotional, and spiritual selves. Throughout my career, I’ve pursued a holistic approach to healing, recognizing that true wellness encompasses all aspects of our being.

I believe that trauma, stress, anxiety, and depression don’t just affect our minds – they accumulate in our bodies and impact our overall spirit. My practice is built on the understanding that healing requires a comprehensive approach that addresses all these interconnected elements.

As a Registered Social Worker with a Diploma in Social Work (Dip.SW), I’ve established a strong foundation in traditional social work practices. However, my commitment to holistic healing has led me to expand my expertise far beyond conventional approaches.

To provide you with the most comprehensive care possible, I’ve pursued extensive training in several healing modalities:

NeuroAffective Touch® Certified Practitioner – NeuroAffective Touch Institute, Santa Monica, California 

Reiki Practitioner 

Yoga Instructor 

Massage Therapist

These diverse certifications allow me to offer a unique, integrative approach to healing, tailored to your specific needs and goals.

As a Registered Social Worker (RSW), I adhere to the ethical standards and best practices set forth by the relevant regulatory bodies. Additionally, my certification from the NeuroAffective Touch Institute connects me to a global community of practitioners dedicated to cutting-edge somatic healing techniques.

Sessions are billed at 150.00 for counselling. Please see our booking page for more information on cost for Reiki and Yoga.
