Welcome, 

I'm Melanie; thank you for viewing my page. 

I currently have some spaces available for new clients; if you would like to book a free initial conversation, please either fill out the BACP request form here or visit my website, www.yourwellbeingmatters.co.uk, where you can book a convenient time for me to call you back.

Hello, 

As a Dorset-based Counsellor, Integrative Therapist & Wellbeing Coach. I provide private 1-1 sessions to adults 18+ locally and remotely (online) across the UK. 

At the heart of the therapeutic work is developing a trusting alliance with my clients while providing a safe, non-judgmental space to explore thoughts and feelings about troubling things. Counselling and Integrative Therapy can help with a wide range of (short and long-term) issues, including; Low self-esteem, Life purpose, Change and Loss, Relationship & Attachment issues, Trauma, Poor coping skills, Bad habits, Depression and Anxiety.

My background in support work, holistic therapy, and well-being coaching includes over ten years of experience helping individuals struggling with various situations, problems and issues. My role includes delivering government-approved programs in community hubs, Jobcentres, and probation centres.

I am open to working with you through whatever is troubling you, and I offer a range of therapeutic approaches that we can collaboratively integrate into your sessions. As our therapeutic relationship builds, we can recognise and discuss which approaches best suit you and match your needs.

Private Practice

Personal lived experiences led to my strong interest in health, wellbeing, psychology and formal training in various therapeutic approaches.

I set up in private practice, initially as a Holistic Therapist & NLP  Coach, in 2012.  Since then I have continued to add other qualifications and skills to my initial training. 

The more recent Integrative psychotherapeutic approaches I am trained in include theories and models from Humanistic, Cognitive Behavioural (inc third-wave CBT), and Psychodynamic. My work with clients is adaptable, inclusive & trauma-informed.

As a Counsellor, Integrative Psychotherapist & Wellbeing Coach, registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I work with adults 18+ who may be struggling with trauma, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and more.

I offer a supportive space where you can gain a deeper perspective on your troubling situations. Together, we can explore how you are feeling and responding to these challenges.​

You are always at the heart of our work. Through empathy, intuition, and humanistic & integrative approaches, my intention as your therapist is to help you reflect and process your experiences so that you can move through them and hopefully start experiencing more resilience, confidence and greater satisfaction in your life.

​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 explore approaches to help manage the impact of any distressing effects. While I predominantly offer one-to-one sessions online across the UK, I also provide some in-person EMDR sessions in the Purbeck area of Dorset, UK.

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 integrative therapy I offer and how we might tailor a plan that is right for you.

​

​​Warm Regards,

Melanie Rivera
