About me
Hi, my name is Michelle and i am a qualified counsellor working in the Hastings area. I have been working as a therapist for the past Fourteen years, I am very passionate and hold a strong belief that if we give ourselves compassion kindness and space, growth can most certainly happen . The counselling I offer is humanistic and integrative, this means I use a range of therapeutic and creative approaches depending on the person you are and what you would like to gain from therapy. I have a strong belief that if we are able to gain a deeper understanding of how our bodies and mind responds to distress we will be much more able to reach for our therapeutic tool box which will we will be working on to build in therapy, this in time will help to bring ourselves in to a place of calm and happiness. The sessions I offer will be one to-one and on an open ended basis depending on your needs. Maintaining confidentiality and having a non judgmental approach.
I offer an initial assessment which is for thirty/forty minutes, I understand the the decision to start therapy can be a big one and can be very daunting so I really like to ensure that this initial meet is as comfortable for you as it can be and will hopefully carry on your journey of self discovery and healing.
If you would like to call for more information or to book an assessment my contact number is 07731849773 or email me on first assessment is free.

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.
