Our Story

I thought I was too much.

Then I thought I wasn't enough.

And in this room, both are welcome. 

​

Whoever you've been

there's room here for who you're becoming.

The Aligned Phoenix is a women's psychology practice in Frankston, working with women aged 14 and above. We do integrative depth therapy. Drawing on attachment theory, schema therapy, parts work, ACT, somatic and nervous system approaches, and CBT, with pattern recognition as the central organising mechanism.

​

The practice was founded by Melanie Hunter, registered psychologist. We are growing as a small group practice of women psychologists, all working in our restored old house on the Nepean Highway. 

​

When a woman walks in, we want her to be able to exhale. The space is built for that, domestic, soft, considered. Somewhere her body recognises as safe enough to begin the real work.

You're in the right place if...

You carry it all, beautifully, invisibly, and wonder when someone will ask how you're doing

 

You've outgrown the roles you were taught to play and want something more honest

 

You feel the pull to soften, to come home to yourself, but don't quite know how

 

You've tried coping tools, read the books, done the work and still feel a quiet ache

 

You want depth. Not just strategies, but somewhere for your truth to unfold

 

You want a practice that takes your story seriously.

​

The Aligned Phoenix is a practice for women who are ready to do real work on themselves and want to be met properly while they do it. 

​

If you're that woman, we'd love to meet you.
