Whether you are struggling with the effects of trauma, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, or other issues impacting your wellbeing, I offer a supportive space where you can gain a deeper insight on your troubling situations. Together, we can recognise how you are feeling and responding to your challenges. We will lean into your own intuition, as well as therapeutic approaches to help with healing, growth, change (or) build better resources for emotional regulation.
About me and my practice
Integrative counselling and psychotherapy offer a holistic and flexible way of working together. I tailor a variety of therapeutic models to your individual needs, with each session lasting 1 hour. This ensures ample time to process your concerns and where appropriate we can draw from a particular approach to help you with a persistent issue, whether that be around acceptance, making a change or developing healthy ways to cope.
I offer one-to-one sessions online across the UK.
You are always at the heart of our work. Through empathy, intuition, and humanistic and integrative approaches, it is my intention as your therapist to help you reflect and process your experiences so that you can move and evolve through them and hopefully begin to heal and start feeling more joy, confidence and resilience.
I understand that choosing the right therapist is a crucial step in your healing journey. It is important that you feel confident in making the best choice for you, which is why I offer a free initial phone conversation. This allows us to discuss your therapeutic requirements and give you a clear understanding of the therapy I offer and how we might tailor a plan that is right for you.
Warm Regards,
Melanie Rivera
Experience
Since 1996, my own life experiences and challenges have paved the way for dedicated research, studies, and professional training in the fields of mental health, well-being, personal development, and therapy.
In 2009, following my NLP Master Practitioner training, I gained valuable experience working in various hubs, JCP centres, prisons, and probation services, where I delivered coaching programs. My extensive personal and professional experience has enabled me to develop the relational depth and empathy required for introspective and reflective psychotherapeutic work, allowing for deeper processing and healing potential.
I currently work as a therapist in private practice and also hold a counselling and well-being coaching contract.
