My name is Andrea Rivera, owner, and counselling services provider at UCPW. In counselling therapy, I focus on providing a grounding and explorative approach to your journey of self-discovery.
My mission is to focus on your concerns from a non-judgmental and curious perspective. My vision is to work together so you can discover new ways of living and build on your strengths so you may reconnect with yourself and those around you.
How will counselling services help you?
Emotional Regulation
Emotions like anxiety or stress can feel very heavy, uncomfortable, and hard to navigate. Counselling can support you by creating a space to improve your understanding of your emotions and how to regulate them.
Communication
Relationship challenges often stem from feeling misunderstood, and misunderstanding others and ourselves. Counselling can support you in uncovering and resolving unconscious patterns that can hinder your ability to convey thoughts effectively and understand others properly.
Self-Awareness
Self-awareness supports you in observing your actions, feelings, and thoughts non-judgmentally and with curiosity to clarify who you are and where you want to go. In counselling sessions, you will enhance this skill, building confidence and healthier relationships with yourself and others.
“Overall, counselling therapy can provide you with the tools and skills to have a fulfilling life.”
