About Melisa Cane-Franzetti
I am a qualified and registered Counsellor. My speciality areas are Sex Therapy, Relationship Therapy and Cultural Adaptation. I have a holistic approach to wellbeing and happiness very much in line with the Maori mental health model of Te Whare Tapa Wha. Inspired by my travels, cultures, and the natural elements I create a safe, non-judgmental, and empowering environment for my clients to learn, grow, challenge themselves, and flourish. I like working with a wide range of clients and presenting issues. I am LGBTQI+ and ENM-friendly. I have experience working with people from different backgrounds, cultures, sexualities, identities, ages, and genders. I aim to provide a less intimidating and more “down-to-earth” therapy experience. I am a senior consultant with Sex Therapy New Zealand.
UNIQUE
So I do an initial assessment and get to know you and your therapy goals. I train in different methods and techniques and tailor the session to your needs. I draw tools from modalities such as CBT, Person-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness, Meditation, ACT, Transactional Analysis, Attachment Theory, EFT, amongst others.
HOLISTIC
My approach to well-being and happiness is holistic. I look at the different elements in your life and your environment to better understand where you are at right now and what you need. I work on being present, mindful, and accepting.
EMPOWERING
I believe in giving people tools to apply in their lives outside of the therapy room. I like to give people the autonomy to make choices and perfect their reflective skills. I want you to leave feeling empowered and accepting. The World is your Oyster!
