Highly Experienced Biblical Counsellor +
Discipleship, Mentorship & Coaching
Christ-centred and biblically faithful counselling and discipleship.
Welcome! My services are for women seeking counsel from a biblical worldview.
I am convinced, based on the authority and sufficiency of the Word of God, that "His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence." 2 Peter 1:3
Clients receive Christ-centred, biblically-focussed directive conversation as we explore God's solutions to the problems, issues, and challenges that brought them to the counselling room. Clients also receive resources, discipleship, support, encouragement, coaching, mentorship, and accountability.
Statement of Faith
My belief system is rooted in historical Christianity, and is theologically and doctrinally Reformed; one that emphasizes the Sovereignty of God, and His Authority through His Sufficient, Inerrant, and Infallible Word.
"The grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God will stand forever." Is. 40:8
In sum, I believe in the Gospel of the God of the Bible; in the saving power of God's Grace alone, through Faith alone (a gift He gives us not of ourselves), because of the finished work of Christ alone (His sinless life and substitutionary death on a cross, His burial, resurrection, and ascension to the right hand of the Father), based on the Authority of Scripture alone, all to the Glory of God alone.
"For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen." Romans 11:36
And because of the preeminence of Christ in a true believer's life, I believe He must take centre stage in the counselling room.
If you think that I would be a good fit for you, I welcome hearing from you! And if you'd like to hear some of my thoughts on my counselling approach, you can learn more by clicking on my All Things!!! podcast episode, featuring a "Statement of Faith."​

Client Testimonial (Spiritual Growth, Marital Issues)
Victoria, BC
"I am writing this testimony in hopes of reaching someone out there who feels utterly lost, engulfed by darkness and is wondering if they can make it through one more difficult day. That is where I was when the Lord brought Melanie into my life; I was lifeless. My husband and I had been in "Christian counselling" for a decade, yet our marriage was a complete mess. I was physically, emotionally and spiritually broken BUT the Lord in his goodness and kindness brought Melanie (and Biblical Counselling) into my life. I had attended church for 15 years but never heard the Gospel spoken with such clarity, conviction and power. The Word of God is central in Biblical Counselling and that is what makes it incomparable to any other forms of help I had tried. Scripture is "breathed out by God" (2 Tim 3:16) and has provided me with an unshakeable "refuge" (Psalm 62:8, 18:30) in my Lord and Saviour. I have gained useful tools for day-to-day living but most importantly I have been fed, as Jesus said, with the bread of life."
