More about Michelle

Welcome, my name is Michelle. As an integrative therapist working in the UK, I believe there is no one way that works for all. I combine different therapeutic approaches which give the flexibility to tailor the therapy to your individual needs. I work using Gestalt therapy, Psychodynamic, and CBT counselling techniques to treat you as an individual and to work collaboratively with you so you can identify your own way forward. I pay particular attention to how past experiences may have influenced your present thoughts, feelings, and relationships, and help you to detangle from recurring life struggles that are holding you back.
I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, depression and low mood, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, & anger management. I believe the most important element of therapy is to build a trusting therapeutic relationship. I offer a calm approach where I will always listen and work in a way in which you can feel empowered in your own life, giving you an opportunity to feel deeply heard, accepted, and understood.
I believe everyone is important and deserves to be heard, whether you are looking for a brief focused approach or to work long-term on deeper issues. There is no fixed time frame and we will go at your pace. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
