About me
Hi, I’m Michaela. I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist. I work online or from my base in Tavistock, or Lifton in Devon. If you are 18 years old or over and you are struggling to manage in your everyday life because of anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, grief, or other situation, please get in touch.
Choosing a counsellor at such a time can be difficult and confusing. I can offer you a safe and confidential space to explore the things that concern you. Talking helps.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified integrative therapist with an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling. I am currently continuing my training and am working towards a Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling.
Everyone is unique and your experience of the world is unique. As an integrative counsellor, our work together will be tailored to meet your needs and to help you explore what concerns you, grow in self-awareness and bring about the changes you would like in your life.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
When you first contact me by email we will arrange a time to have a short phone call to introduce ourselves to each other and arrange your first session. Our relationship is fundamental to the work we do together, so we need to feel comfortable with each other. It will also give an opportunity to answer any questions you have about the way I work. If you decide you would like to work with me, we will arrange our first session.
