Communication Coaching for Personal and Professional Growth
My first 3 weeks with Melinda has been incredible! I greatly appreciate how well she holds space throughout the session. I love that she recites what she’s hearing and helps to unpack some key points. I feel like she’s straightforward yet gentle in addressing her input, while other therapists have mostly validated my loops. It’s refreshing!

Spacious, robust and attuned presence.
What a joyful relief it is to have received this empathy session with Melinda! I explored aspects of my relationship with my son, and was able to transform my fears and frustration into clarity, empowerment and appreciation, thanks to the the solid, attuned and caring presence Melinda held throughout our session. I have been looking for that kind of empathic space for years and would recommend it to anyone who wants to cultivate self-clarity and self-care.

Well, I’ve had the best conversation with Melinda. She helped me find a connection to what I was saying about myself and how much my connection to Source has a role in so much of what I focus on.
She really listened and heard me, and truly helped me hear myself. That was the best gift of all because I got to care more about what is important to me, and really mean it. So anyway, as always my appreciation and enjoyment when we discuss, frankly, anything.
And that’s a gift that keeps on giving.
Again, loved our empathy session, which ended up being a sounding board too. I’ve become fond of what I create and enjoy sharing my enthusiasm with others.
Please choose Empathy Catalyst; I highly regard Melinda and the work she does in the world. Keep it up!

Empathy Catalyst Coach
After looking many places over a very long time for a better way to communicate and connect, Nonviolent Communication (NVC) found me. I’ve been fortunate to receive amazing empathic presence at very pivotal moments in my life and have experienced the magic of empathy to be incredibly transformational. Receiving nonviolent communication support through coaching, training and peers has helped me to navigate many challenging conversations, become a more confident communicator in a way that aligns me with my values, and contributes quality support to the people in my life. I have personally used this skill-set in:
- my work as a research manager for a textile recycling technology development company working with Board level and technical team members
- negotiating long-term remote working from Australia and Denmark for a UK based company
- replacing people-pleasing patterns with an increasing ability to advocate for myself, care for the needs of others and find win-win strategies together
- resolving a pattern of depression
I find a great deal of meaning and joy in being able to offer empathic support, transformational processes, communication coaching and sounding board sessions. I also offer themed and foundational courses in Australia, Denmark, and Internationally online.
I collaborate with the Danish organisation LIVKOM (Life enriching communication)and Danish NVC trainer Kirsten Kristensen offering trainings, providing web administration and business support.
Supporting wellness, and effective communication is a passion of mine. Your success is my focus.
