About Mitchell
Mitchell Meldrum is a counsellor with 16 years of practice in Australia who helps people manage stress and anxiety. He supports people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and mood concerns like depression and bipolar. Mitchell believes people know their own story and brings a practical, respectful approach to sessions.
He works in straightforward, collaborative conversations. He listens to what matters most and helps set small goals people can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Mitchell focuses on building on strengths and on skills that reduce overwhelm in day-to-day life. Sessions tend to be organised and goal-focused while staying flexible to each person's needs. Mitchell aims to create a calm, steady space where someone can talk through painful memories, shifting emotions, or tricky choices.
He also offers support for intimacy issues, parenting stress, career concerns and worries linked to identity and LGBT matters. People who have first responder stress, gender dysphoria questions, HIV or AIDS related concerns, hoarding, hospice and end-of-life matters, or non-monogamous relationship challenges can bring those topics to sessions. Mitchell also supports those coping with compassion fatigue and ADHD related difficulties.
He is credentialed with PACFA. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Mitchell encourages a first short conversation to see if his style fits the person seeking help.
How Mitchell uses practical approaches online
Mitchell draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and real-world change. One common approach teaches coping and grounding skills so emotions feel less overwhelming; it helps with panic, anxiety and strong stress reactions by giving clear steps to try during high stress moments. Another approach helps people work through difficult memories and the effects of trauma by pacing discussions and building safety with small, manageable tasks between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Mitchell will talk about options, listen to what matters most, and adapt methods to match a person's goals and preferences. The plan can shift over time as progress or new priorities emerge.
Online work is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a shorter break in a busy day. Live chat and messaging make it easier to check in between sessions and to share thoughts when writing feels better. These options add flexibility for busy schedules and people in different parts of Australia.
