Mel Riley Counselling

"Mel is a real breath of fresh air when it comes to counselling supervison, she is friendly yet professional and shares her wealth of knowledge and experience in an inspiring way. Having had so many bad experiences with other supervisors I am really grateful to have found Mel and I would highly recommend her for supervision as well as any other counselling services."

"Mel was an absolute life saver for me when I started attending sessions with her. I was at rock bottom and Mel saved me with her incredible empathy, understanding and her ability to translate my thoughts and feelings for me into sense! She helped me get my life back on track and start to become the person I always wanted to be. Please pay no attention to the 1 star reviews on here as they are nonsense. If I could give Mel 10 stars I would do…Mel’s help and guidance was worth every single penny!!!"

"I got in touch with Mel when I felt there was nowhere else to turn to for support with my son who was struggling with anxiety and was no longer attending school. He wasn't getting the support he needed at school and I was struggling to find any help or support externally for him or me. Mel has helped me see things through my son's eyes and has given me the tools to help him express and mange his emotions and to communicate how he his feeling. We had to change school to break the cycle and to find a school that understood, and could support him back into the school environment. Whilst we still have struggles and anxieties which we continue to work on, he is back in school and the progress is very noticeable. Mel knows her stuff and is passionate about helping people with their emotional wellbeing."

"We have been having support with Mel for some behavioural issues with our child. Since working with Mel we are noticing the work we are doing is making a noticeable difference. She has helped us take a different approach to parenting. We now see behaviour as a communication and are learning how to support our child when he is anxious and not managing. Mel supports our whole family with kind compassion and offers us strategies that are effect and resources that are useful. She helps reminding us to take care of ourselves, as well as the little ones.Shes there with reassurance when we wobble and keeps us accountable too. Mel is friendly, down to earth and professional. We would highly recommend Mel if you need support."

"Working with Mel has helped me find the language to communicate my thoughts and emotions, which has been extremely valuable in developing my personal and business relationships. If you are reading things that Mel puts out there and they strike a chord, I encourage you to make a small step and contact Mel. It can be extremely difficult to reach out for help but there are no judgments just vast amounts of patience, understanding & support. Your loved ones will thank you for it! I have no hesitations in fully recommending Mel. Thank You."
