Melissa Farr established Bold Psychology in 2015 with a clear vision: to create a warm, family-friendly space where people of all ages can access high-quality, compassionate psychology care.

Melissa is a Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience working with Autism Spectrum Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, and Body Image concerns.  She supports clients across the lifespan, using a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches tailored to each individual's unique needs.



Therapy with Children & Families

Melissa's sessions with children are engaging and interactive - often incorporating:

• Games
• Conversation
• Skill-building Activities

Parents are included in part of each session to support open communication, share feedback, and help reinforce strategies at home. 

Therapy with Adults

Adult sessions are client-centred and collaborative, with a focus on exploring personal values, processing emotions, and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns.  Depending on the client's needs, sessions may involve mindfulness, relaxation techniques, cognitive restructuring, and gradual exposure.

Melissa also encourages the involvement of family members where appropriate, recognising the important role that relationships play in an individual's wellbeing.
