About me
Hi, I’m Michelle, my passion is counselling and supporting people along their personal journey. By forming a strong, trusting relationship with my clients, they feel supported, safe and empowered.
If we work together, I’ll be guided by you and what you want to achieve from counselling. Your goals will always be at the forefront of our sessions. Ultimately, you have that insight and I am here to support you and provide the tools to get to know yourself better and work through any challenges you are facing. I provide a wide range of services, and fully appreciate that everyone is different, with different goals. You may already know what you would like to focus on, or perhaps you’re not sure where to start. Wherever you are in your journey, I can tailor my support to you at your pace.
I work with various theories including Transactional Analysis, Gestalt Therapy and Person-Centred Therapy. The approaches that we choose will be based on what works best for you. Before using any theories, I will talk you through what’s involved to give you a better understanding of them. That way you can feel in control of your counselling journey.
Many of my clients have busy working lives and so I appreciate the need for sessions that work alongside a hectic diary. I have over a decade’s worth of experience in a fast-paced corporate job, and so fully understand the pressures and challenges that come with high-stress work environments.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Level 4 Diploma in Counselling and have experience in working with a diverse range of clients and issues including anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem and stress. I also have experience in dealing with individuals who have experienced sexual violence and abuse working with a trauma formed perspective.
