More about Michelle

  • NCPS

Do you struggle with anxiety, and loss of a sense of self that affects your day-to-day life, ability to function or your relationship? Do you feel overwhelmed, and exhausted by getting through the day, thinking there is no light at the end of the tunnel? Do you question if life could be better?

I believe that everyone has the potential to live a fulfilling life. I help you overcome challenges and achieve your goals. I know it can be daunting to be vulnerable and seek someone to listen, together we can take the first step.

Counselling offers support for many aspects of life. You may wish to talk through a difficult experience, or perhaps you are struggling to decide an answer to a question. You may have become aware that patterns seem to repeat themselves in your life in a way that does not feel beneficial.

I am credentialed in the UK with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, & coping with grief and loss. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
