Welcome
My name is Mel Keen and I'm passionate about offering unique personal and corporate psychology services that combine both traditional and contemporary approaches. I have worked as a psychologist for over 14 years across a range of settings including private practice, education and the corporate sector.
I work privately from a property in Wattle Grove, where nature and the environment allow me to offer support services with a difference. Here I am able to provide indoor and outdoor appointments, as well as Equine Assisted Counselling and Therapy.
I am also an independent practitioner at the Nervana Clinic in Kalamunda.
Sometimes our life experiences and circumstances might create imbalance, stress or illness. How we interpret and respond to different situations influences how we are affected by them. Sometimes we do this consciously, other times this happens automatically as our mind and body try to protect us.
We can become disconnected in different ways - from our self, others, our body and nature. Carefully re-establishing connection to, and between, these four elements is the foundation of my practice in psychology.
Self - self-awareness is freedom and allows us choice in how we respond to life.
Others - meaningful relationships and belonging have the power to heal and transform.
Body - it is vital that we understand how our brain and body react and interact on a physiological level.
Nature - reconnecting with the natural environment helps to restore balance in busy lifestyles that overstimulate our minds and bodies.
Horse Horizons recognises that horses are able to assist us in each of these four elements, in many different ways.
Horses are unique and powerful animals. What they have to offer is, quite literally, beyond words.
What they have to teach us, if we are willing to listen, is life changing.
We each have our own story. I have faith in people's capacity to make changes in their lives, no matter how big or small and regardless of age.
Sincerely,
Mel
