Depression
Trauma, Grief & Loss
Anxiety & Stress Management
ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Neurodiversity & Intellectual disability

Meet our team on our website, and check out our group and events page for upcoming events! We would like to acknowledge traditional owners across the lands where Phoenix Wings Wellness operates, and pay our respects to Australia’s First Peoples, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, their elders past, present, and emerging, for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and hope of Aboriginal Australia and we commit to the ongoing work of reconciliation; and to any Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families within our networks. Phoenix Wings Wellness recognises that family structures are diverse, including blended families, co-parents, rainbow families, step parents, foster parents, adoptive parents, grandparents, extended family members, carers and guardians. We appreciate and respect that many families experience multiple diversities, including race, sexuality, gender, faith, cultural, and people of all abilities. We hope to provide your family with the support and information you may require for you and your families to grow and thrive.

✨ Neurodivergent Women Connect ✨

An invitation to our new circle for neurodivergent women, where diagnosed and self-diagnosed experiences are equally valid.

Facilitated by Renee Simmons, Psychotherapist, this group offers a safe, supportive space to meet, connect, and be yourself alongside other neurodivergent women.

Being a neurodivergent woman can come with unique challenges, especially when diagnosis comes later in life. This circle is about feeling less alone, understanding ourselves more deeply, sharing stories, and having a little fun along the way 💚

Neurodivergent Women Connect is open to women 18+ in the Albury/Wodonga and surrounding areas.

💚 Monday 23rd February 2026
💚 6:30pm
💚 Phoenix Wings Wellness, Albury
💚 Approx. 90 minutes
Our first session will focus on getting to know one another, exploring what you’d like to get out of the group, and deciding how often we’ll meet.

Hello February 🤩
February invites us to move beyond self-love and into something softer:

🩷 Self-kindness.
🩷 Rest without guilt.
🩷 Boundaries that protect your energy.
🩷 Patience for the days that feel heavy.

Loving yourself doesn’t always look bold or confident. Sometimes it looks like slowing down, being gentle with your inner voice, and giving yourself permission to simply be ✨

Head to our website and read our small blog that opens the month of self-kindness 💌

On Friday night, Mel and Simone attended the Business Women Albury Wodonga Opening 2026 Night, where the finalists were announced for the 2026 Business Grant, an initiative designed to support local business owners to grow and develop their business.

We’re incredibly proud (and a little excited!) to share that Phoenix Wings Wellness has been announced as a finalist 🎉

Our proposal focuses on building a local, collaborative network of creative arts and music therapists, supporting one another to strengthen and sustain our practices, especially in light of recent NDIS changes.

Next up is Pitch Night next month, where Mel will be presenting this vision. We’re so grateful for the support and belief in this work and can’t wait to see what unfolds. 💛

The phoenix must burn to emerge...

Melanie holds a Masters in Social Work from La Trobe University, and has a special interest in trauma and domestic violence. She works well with a wide age range, but especially with children, adolescents and parents. Melanie previously worked as a Family Services Practitioner at Upper Murray Family Care, and is experienced at working with the whole family, with the view that our relationships with others, especially our families, impact significantly on our capacity to grow and heal. Melanie is able to bulk bill services when a MHTP and (GP) referral is provided, and incorporates creative expression in to her sessions as required.

Melanie completed her Certificate of Initiatic Art Therapy in April 2015 with the Institute for Sensorimotor Art Therapy & School for Initiatic Art Therapy, and the Certificate of Clay Field Therapy on May 22nd, 2016. At the beginning of 2017, Melanie enrolled at MIECAT to begin her Masters in Therapeutic Arts Practice.

Mel help clients to resolve their presenting psychological problems, the associated social and other environmental problems, and improve their quality of life. This may involve family as well as individual counselling, and group therapy (some groups may be run on a regular basis). She recognises the broader implications of an individual having a mental illness and the impact on friends, family, work and education. Mel welcomes diversity including all body sizes, abilities, races, sexualities, genders, religions and political values.
