Melody is a registered clinical counsellor (RCC) with a Master of Counselling and a Bachelor of Arts in Child and Youth Care. Born in Pakistan to Iranian refugee parents, she immigrated to Canada in 1989 and grew up in Ottawa before moving to Vancouver Island in 2001. Melody now lives and works in Victoria with her family. Her life journey as an immigrant and member of the BIPOC and LGBTQ2+ communities deeply informs her compassionate, kind, and playful approach to counselling.
For over 20 years, Melody has worked with children, youth, and families in a variety of settings. As a counsellor, she practices a client-centred, strength-based approach, integrating modalities such as internal family systems (IFS), narrative therapy (NT), solution-focused therapy (SFT), and somatic work.
Melody’s counselling approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and rooted in compassion and respect. She believes that clients are the experts in their own lives, and her role as counsellor is to walk alongside them, offering safety, trust, and collaboration in the process of healing and growth. She especially values creating inclusive, culturally responsive spaces for clients who identify as LGBTQ2+ and/or BIPOC, where they can feel heard and supported.
Beyond the counselling room, Melody is passionate about movement, fitness, and the mind-body connection. As the founder of Iron Soul, she has supported individuals in achieving physical and mental well-being through strength training, movement, and community. She often integrates movement, nature walks, or body-based practices into counselling when helpful to support emotional and physical balance.
Outside of work, Melody enjoys spending time in nature, exploring trails, playing games, travelling, and enjoying quiet moments with her family. She lives with her wife, their son, and their dog Cricket, and values the balance between active adventure and calm, restorative family time.
