Provisional Psychologist
Melissa Kerrigan is a Provisional Psychologist currently completing a Master of Clinical Psychology. She brings an authentic, grounded, and collaborative approach to therapy, creating a non-judgemental environment where clients feel genuinely heard and supported as they explore their experiences and work towards the goals that matter to them. Her style is steady, thoughtful, and honest, offering clear guidance while helping clients make sense of what they're going through. She works alongside clients to build the insight and skills that support meaningful and lasting change in a way that feels clear, supportive, and aligned with their goals. Her therapeutic style is shaped by years of experience as a crisis support worker, where she supported individuals through intense distress, uncertainty, and emotional overwhelm. This work strengthened her ability to stay calm under pressure, hold space for difficult emotions, and help people find grounding and safety during challenging moments.
