About me

Hello

I'm Michelle and thank you for visiting my page. I describe my role as a little bit like a brain tourist guide. Imagine that you are stuck or lost in the forest of life and are unable to find your way out. I endeavour to help you on your journey, equip you with coping skills and education and guide you to finding hope again for the future.

I will listen to your story with care and compassion and provide emotional support to guide you back to the right road for a happier life.

I have worked with many people supporting their mental health, but one thing has connected them all. Making the first step to asking for help. It can take a huge amount of courage to ask for help, but one reassuring piece of research from neuroscience has shown that when we start to make small changes and repeat them over time, we can change our internal neuron network and start to think and behave differently. This is a process called plasticity and shows us that we can make changes to who we are at any time in our life.

Therefore, change is possible. 

I welcome you to take that first step today by contacting me for a free no obligation 20 minute chat on 07468580745 and be the change you wish to see.

I hope that I am able to show you that you can begin to feel differently and experience life in a meaningful way again.

Live Well, Work Well

Michelle

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
