About me
Are you feeling anxious or overwhelmed and that you might need support?
Perhaps life feels difficult at the moment and you're not sure which way to turn?
Would you like to improve your personal or professional relationships?
Talking with someone in confidence can help you make sense of your feelings and find a way forward that feels right for you.
I’m Michelle and I run michellefaheytherapy.com. My practice is founded on clinical excellence and best practice research, helping clients find clarity and rebuild a sense of purpose and direction.
As a post-graduate level trained and fully qualified BACP psychotherapist and coach, I help clients from a wide range of backgrounds with diverse issues including:
Relationship difficulties
Anxiety
Depression
Low self-esteem
Workplace stress
Trauma (including domestic abuse and childhood sexual abuse)
I have a special interest in supporting mid-life women to negotiate the challenges that menopause can bring and have undertaken research in this area.
I work as an integrative therapist; this means I draw on different theories and skills, and apply those that are best suited to you. I also utilise coaching skills to help you reach your goals. Our sessions will therefore not only focus on present difficulties and the impact of past experiences, but will also look towards the future to help you achieve meaningful change. This approach works really well for clients who not only want to understand their feelings but want to work towards a tangible goal.

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.
