About me
Hi, I'm Michelle, Counsellor based in Brentwood, Chelmsford & Braintree, Essex.
My aim is to make therapy as warm, nurturing and as comfortable as possible.
Talking through your thoughts and feelings with a counsellor can really help you change your attitude towards some of the things you have experienced in the past and how you deal with the future. Previous clients have said they feel respected and listened, to which allows them to express themselves more deeply.
Positive changes can be achieved within six sessions, and I do offer a 10% discount if six sessions are booked and pre-paid. Sessions can also be booked individually, and will always be tailored to meet your therapeutic needs, providing you with the best opportunity for the best results so you achieve fast, effective and lasting change.
I offer my clients a 60 or 90 minute initial assessment, which gives you an opportunity to talk through any issues and goals you would like to achieve. So if it feels like the right time and you are ready to talk please get in touch today, please phone or email to arrange an appointment with me.
I welcome any questions, and I look forward to hearing from you.

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.
