Part of the ‘tool kit’ that Mel Maelo draws from are therapies such as Human Givens, NLP, VK - Rewind technique, EMDR, Colour Therapy, Energy Psychology, Past Life Regression, Gestalt & Parts Therapy including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Picture Tapping, Meditation, CBT, Transactional Analysis, Art Therapy, Vagus nerve exercises, and Somatic trauma healing including reintegration.

Mel subscribes to the Bruce Lipton school of thought regarding how our belief effects our cellular structure and inherent genetic traits. She is also an avid advocator of neuroplasticity including the work of Norman Doidge and Michael Moskowitz. Mel has also researched and done a lot of work into the Polyvagal Theory of Dr Stephen Porges, PhD and makes both personal and professional use of Stanley Rosenberg’s work on the subject.

Dr Peter Levine PhD, the pioneer and founder of Somatic Experiencing and working with trauma has had a great influence on Mel’s approach to trauma in a therapy setting. Dr Levine is also a stress consultant for NASA.

These and others are things that Mel may discuss with you regarding your ongoing therapy approach.
