Melis Aktas (she/her)

Psychologist

BPsycSc, MClinPsych

Melis is an empathic and understanding psychologist who enjoys working with children, young people and adults. She is passionate about her work and values the opportunity to have a positive impact on people’s lives. She also enjoys working with people from diverse backgrounds, supporting people in their adjustment to unfamiliar cultural landscapes, or assisting families as they navigate the complexities of raising children within the dynamic interplay of multiple cultures.  

“When clients seek support from a psychologist, it is often as a last resort or driven by a strong desire for change. I deeply acknowledge the courage it takes for people to step into a therapy room seeking help or guidance, and I am committed to providing a nurturing and supportive environment for their journey.”
