Melissa Krestensen holistic counsellor Central Coast NSW
Meet Melissa

Support that sees the whole of you.

A warm, grounded approach to healing, emotional wellbeing and relationships.

I'm a holistic counsellor on the Central Coast NSW, supporting women and couples through emotional challenges, overwhelm, relationship difficulties and the patterns that can leave us feeling disconnected or stuck.

My approach goes beyond simply talking about what's happening. I draw on counselling, nervous system awareness, emotional healing, embodiment and body-based practices to help you understand what's happening beneath the surface and create change that carries into everyday life.

You don't need to arrive with everything figured out. My role is to offer a space where you can feel heard, understand yourself or your relationship more deeply, and begin finding a way forward that feels right for you.

Every person's experience is different, but creating a space where you feel heard, supported and safe to be yourself is always at the heart of my work.

“The way you held such a safe and supportive space allowed me to experience a new level of calm surrendering.”

The flow of the comforting elements of the session supported me in deepening the inward journey. I experienced hidden emotions being gently released and felt supported to be fully present with myself, my heart and my body.

Alicia • Healing Session
★★★★★

“A beautiful teacher, healer and gives guidance from the heart.”

Melissa is professional, calm, nurturing and intuitive. I've been with Melissa one-on-one, in group settings and with my partner and always feel included, listened to and walk away with more knowledge than when I walked in with. Highly recommended.

Client Testimonial
★★★★★

“Melissa has been a wonderful mentor throughout my adult life.”

I could not recommend a more beautiful woman to give you clarity and insight to help nurture and heal from the inside out. She is passionate about her craft and has a wonderful studio among the bellbirds. It's a peaceful and tranquil place to unwind.

Client Testimonial
★★★★★

“Seeing you for a healing session is always something I look forward to.”

I feel like I release so much not just in our Reiki session but in our chats too. I get clarification on what I'm seeking. I walk away like I can conquer my fears or the noise of doubt has been eliminated.

Healing Client
★★★★★

“Thank you for providing such a safe space.”

What can I say, thank you so so much. So grateful for you. Our couples session was so lovely. Thank you for providing such a safe space for us.

Couples Client

“I was blown away.”

She is so passionate in all aspects of her work and maintains a friendly, comfortable, calm yet professional environment. It is very clear that she loves what she does and I guarantee you won't regret booking in with her.

Client Testimonial
★★★★★

“Empowering, eye opening & uplifting.”

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to you for holding such a safe and sacred space for us today. It was empowering, eye opening and uplifting. Thank you so much. I can't wait to do it again.

Experience Client
★★★★★

“I have noticed an increase in joy, love & gratitude in my life.”

It has been an incredible journey, allowing me to see deeper parts of myself, feel supported in a like-minded community and explore open and honest communication whilst feeling heard and seen. I've also experienced a softening into my feminine energy and an openness to receive more.

Personal Growth Client
★★★★★

“I was blown away that you got me right into the zone for meditation.”

Thank you for a very spiritual and totally immersing day. I usually have a very hard time with meditation — I have monkey brain — and I was blown away that I was able to settle into it so deeply.

FAQS

Where are you located?

I’m based in a private studio in Tuggerah on the Central Coast NSW. I welcome counselling, yoga and healing clients from Tuggerah and surrounding areas including Wyong, Wadalba, Chittaway Bay, Berkeley Vale, Ourimbah and across the Central Coast. Online counselling sessions are also available.

Do you offer individual and couples counselling?

Yes. My individual counselling work is primarily for women, while I also support couples through marriage and relationship counselling.

If you’re unsure where to begin, you’re welcome to book a free 15-minute discovery call so we can briefly discuss what you’re looking for and which option may suit you best.

What is holistic counselling?

Holistic counselling looks at more than the immediate problem. Depending on what you need, our work may explore emotions, patterns, nervous system responses, relationships, boundaries and practical ways to support meaningful change.

Do you offer yoga classes?

Yes. I offer small, intimate yoga classes from my private Tuggerah studio, with a focus on slowing down, reconnecting with your body and creating space to breathe.

Absolutely. You don’t need to be flexible or experienced to come to class. I offer gentle guidance and encourage you to work with your own body and what feels right for you.

No. These are simply additional areas of experience I can draw on when they are appropriate and something you want to explore. Your sessions can remain entirely counselling-focused.

That’s very common. You don’t need to arrive knowing exactly what to say or agreeing on what the problem is. I’ll guide the conversation and create space for both of you.
