Email meAbout me
Hi, my name is Michelle. I am a Person-centred Counsellor who uses CBT tools in my private practice, based in the Beaumaris Health and Wellbeing Centre located in Newport. I also work in and around the Telford and Shropshire area. For me, Counselling is about you being the expert on you, and what you need, and we would work together to help you find a more comfortable place to be. I see my role as walking alongside you, our relationship being built on honesty and authenticity, in a confidential manner, where we will develop a safe and non-judgemental environment. One in which we can openly discuss what is of most importance to you. Because, in my experience, feeling heard leads to deep and lasting change.
I am often told I have a youthful appearance, nevertheless, I have much in the way of life experience and personal struggles. Therefore, I can empathise with many of the difficulties of daily life and its strong demands; I have up close and personal experience of supporting children with mental health issues, providing end of life care and severe physical disabilities. As such, I am passionate about supporting others.
