Melissa Minney

As a clinical psychologist and clinical family therapist, I am passionate about working with individuals, couples, and families and supporting them through difficult life transitions. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults with a range of complex and co-morbid mental health and personal issues such as relationship problems, high-conflict separations, traumatic life experiences, mood and anxiety issues, domestic violence issues, substance misuse, gender and sexuality identity issues, sleep problems, developmental disorders and learning and attention problems. I work primarily from a family therapy and systemic perspective, integrating evidence-based treatments and working with the individual or family’s wider system to optimise outcomes (e.g., family members, school staff, other health professionals, the disability, legal and child protection systems). I have additional training and experience in cognitive behavioural therapy, cognitive processing therapy, and motivational interviewing. I am available to provide consultation to individuals and organisations focused on a family therapy and systemic approach to human problems. I have a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology (University of Adelaide), Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) (University of South Australia), and Graduate Diploma in Family Therapy & Systemic Practice (Bower College). I am registered with the Australian Health Practitioner’s Regulation Agency (AHPRA), and a member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS), APS Clinical College, and Australian Association of Family Therapy (AAFT). I have provided consultation to the child protection, education, disability and legal sectors on a regular basis, and educated students in family therapy at a graduate level.

I am a Psychologist, registered with AHPRA. I completed my Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) at Flinders University, and I am a Clinical Ph.D. Candidate at Flinders University. My research background is in the world of sleep and my thesis is investigating a phenomenon known as Sleep-wake State Discrepancy. My first experience has involved co-running group Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia sessions for clients experiencing chronic pain and sleep difficulties. This is an area of research and clinical interest for me, as I am passionate about advocating and aiding those with chronic illnesses/pain and sleep issues. Other experiences have provided me with a wealth of knowledge working with families and their children aged 4 - 16 with a variety of presentations. I have experience with and interest in helping people with anxiety, stress, anger, depression, trauma, sleep difficulties, chronic pain, ADHD, and Autism. I look forward to working collaboratively with my clients to help them achieve their goals through evidence-based treatment methods.
