Hello I'm Michelle. In my practice, I work alongside young people & adults to support them in navigating life’s challenges, achieving desired improvements in their mental health, wellbeing, relationships and life circumstances. I have a gentle, compassionate nature and provide a comfortable, discreet space where my clients feel safe and supported to share, grow and connect with inner wisdom. My approach is intuitive, flexible and strengths-based, often solution-focused and always person centered around an individual’s unique interests, values and hopes for the future.
My purpose and passion is reflecting and connecting fellow humans with their strengths and inner resources. I'll help you see and embrace difference and uniqueness as gifts, integrate your experiences with your identity, and utilise your unique gifts to navigate life's challenges, as you journey with purpose towards a more meaningful and joy filled future.
Whatever's been preventing you from living the life you desire, as my client we’ll walk together to explore your concerns, gain valuable insight and identify ways forward. If you've found me because you feel ready to work with someone who'll listen with true empathy, and who’ll support and believe in you wholeheartedly, please do reach out and connect.

In our sessions, it's not unusual for philosophical questions - about purpose, meaning, and self - to arise. I hold space for exploration of these questions, even when they feel uncomfortable or hard to name. Together, we'll find language for the complex feelings and ideas that can seem impossible to articulate. It's not impossible - with courage, and the right guide.
