Hi, my name is Michele and I am a psychologist who works with adults experiencing emotional distress that prevents them from functioning well in their life. You may be experiencing anxiety, low mood, low energy or loss of interest in things. You may have grown up having painful and difficult experiences early in life which prevent you from functioning freely and creatively, or from forming positive relationships with others. I also offer Somatic Experiencing informed support to people recovering from the effects of difficult medical experiences, helping them regain a greater sense of safety, stability and connection with themselves.
I can show you how past difficult experiences live in the present and assist you to find more helpful ways of dealing with these challenges; reduce symptoms and recover a sense of agency. Exploring personal difficulties with an experienced psychologist, often brings new insights and in time offers the possibility of greater choice through greater awareness.
If you would like to discuss an appointment with me please call me and I'd be happy to make time to speak with you. If I'm not available please leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
