About me
Hello, I’m Michaela – a Counsellor based in Stroud, UK.
If you’re going through a difficult time and seeking friendly, professional support, I’m here to help. Together, we can explore what’s going on for you, work through challenges, and move toward your goals using a range of evidence-based psychotherapy approaches.
My style is collaborative, respectful, and non-judgemental. As a Pluralistic Counsellor, I inform my practice from a range of therapeutic models—such as Person-Centred, Psychoanalytic, Humanistic, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, and CBT—to create a tailored approach that suits your unique needs.
Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or simply want space to reflect, therapy can help you gain insight into your thoughts, behaviours, and emotions. Through this process, many people find they become more resilient, feel more fulfilled, and are better able to make satisfying life choices—in relationships, at work, and at home.
The foundation of our work will be the therapeutic relationship we build together. Sessions can be short or long-term and will move at a pace that feels right for you.
My background includes a Degree in Psychology, a Postgraduate Diploma in Hypnotherapy, and a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychotherapy and Counselling. I’m a registered member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), which means I adhere to their code of ethics and maintain a high standard of training and supervised practice.
If any of this resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you.
