About Mitchell
PACFA counsellor with 16 years of professional experience, Mitchell Meldrum helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief and related concerns. He works with people facing depression, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, bipolar challenges and career or parenting strain. Sessions are conducted in English and he practises in Australia.
Mitchell views each person as the expert on their own life. He focuses on practical strategies and clear conversations. Sessions look at what is happening now, what patterns keep repeating, and what small changes could make daily life easier.
His work often involves steady check-ins, skills practice and planning steps people can try between sessions. He supports people coping with first responder stress, gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS matters, hoarding, end-of-life concerns and non-monogamous relationship questions. Mitchell also helps with compassion fatigue and the ongoing effects of trauma and abuse.
He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, addictions and grief. In-session tasks might include learning coping skills, clarifying values, or breaking large problems into manageable pieces. The pace is set by the person in therapy and by what they need to focus on first.
Mitchell’s approach aims to make therapy practical. He encourages straightforward discussion about goals and obstacles. People who want clear, step-oriented work and a focus on coping strategies will find this style direct and task-focused.

How evidence-based methods work in online sessions
Evidence-based techniques focus on concrete skills and stepwise change. One common approach is skills training that teaches breathing, grounding or behavioural strategies to manage anxiety and cravings. These are taught in short practices during sessions and rehearsed between meetings to build day-to-day coping.Another approach is structured problem solving and behavioural activation. This method breaks larger challenges into small tasks, schedules achievable activities, and checks what works. It helps with depression, low motivation and the practical fallout of stress or burnout.
Choosing the right method is collaborative. The therapist will talk through a person’s goals, preferences and past experiences and then try approaches that fit. That conversation shapes which techniques are prioritised and how sessions are organised.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time. Discuss practical needs and scheduling when arranging the first session so sessions suit daily routines.
