About me
My name is Michelle and I offer therapy for a wide range of issues which includes stress, anxiety, generalised anxiety disorder, relationships issues, panic disorders, depression, family issues, bereavement, bullying, childhood issues, addictions and many others.
I offer a professional and confidential service and am fully committed to working alongside individuals to identify and achieve their own goals. I offer long or short term counselling and psychotherapy maintaining a flexible service to give easy access for people with irregular working hours or childcare commitments
You can contact me without obligation to ask me questions about the service that I offer and I will do my best to answer fairly without any presumption that you will want to proceed with counselling. If you do wish to take it further you will be invited for an assessment to find out what the priorities are for you and a plan of how we can best work together. Even at this stage there will be no obligation on your part. The pace and depth of therapy will be based on your own needs and together we will find the most useful way of moving forward to help you to live a more fulfilled life.

I am familiar with the use of creativity as a therapeutic tool which can include painting, drawing, poetry, music, using therapy stones all of which, for some people can be useful resources.

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.
