Profile

My name is Michelle and I am an Integrative Counsellor, working with a variety of Counselling styles. Counselling is about a relationship, one which develops between two people and is unlike any other relationship. I, as the Counsellor am here for you, to listen and provide a safe space to explore issues that may have been causing you sadness, uncertainty or other concerns.

I am non-judgemental, empathic and available to accompany you on your journey of self awareness. Sometimes people get lost and need support and guidance in helping them find their path again. To begin on this journey takes courage and I shall be there supporting you all the way.

I offer both short term and long term Counselling for people of all backgrounds and ages.

I can offer weekend and evening appointments.
