About
Melanie Rivera
Hello, I’m Mel
A registered MBACP Integrative Therapist |Counsellor
and Wellbeing Coach.
I am trained in a variety of psychotherapeutic theories and approaches, and the people I work with are at the centre of the therapeutic service offered. I believe everyone should be accepted as individuals with their own vast life experience. Working with an Integrative approach can create a more bespoke experience for you, offering additional tailored resources that can enrich our work together.
I understand that the decision to seek therapy, counselling or coaching can feel overwhelming, especially if it is a new experience. Making that first step is often a difficult yet brave decision to make. I am friendly and approachable and am here to help.
"I always offer a free 30-minute initial conversation to discuss options/approaches together".
We can see if I am a good match to meet your requirements and talk about potential steps forward (including what to expect on the first session), should you decide to go ahead with some regular sessions.
Reccomended for: Mild troublesome, every day problems
Person centred counselling provides you with a safe and confidential space to talk without judgment. Please get in touch with me to book a friendly 30-minute no-obligation conversation, to discuss if this is the right service for you. These sessions last 50 minutes.
Recommended for: Medium to High-Intensity Problems, including relationship, anxiety, depression..
As an integrative counsellor and therapist, I am trained in a range of approaches and modalities that are integrated into counselling | psychotherapy sessions, including theory and techniques from;
Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, EFIT, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, HeartMath Resilience and NLP. Integrative approaches along with counselling and psychotherapy can deepen and enrich sessions. Some provide new skills to manage mood, improve confidence and develop new ways to thrive more in life. I tend to work intuitively, and can tailor approaches to suit your individuality and needs.
These sessions last 1 hour. Please book a free conversation to discuss options.
Recommended for: High Intensity Problems including Trauma, Phobias, and PTSD
Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR).
This treatment resolves symptoms resulting from disturbing and traumatic life experiences. Studies show that when in REM sleep we are able to make new associations between things very rapidly. EMDR is designed to tap into this high-speed processing mode that we all have, helping the brain to process the unresolved memories and make them less distressing..
These sessions last between 1hour and 1hour 30 mins, prices are quoted on time. Please book a free conversation to discuss your requirements.
