Michelle is a fully registered psychologist with over 20 years experience working in private and public health settings. Michelle works from a person-centred approach that actively involves the client in their own own treatment planning and goal setting. She recognises that clients require an individually tailored treatment approach depending on their goals and needs to ensure they get the most out of therapy. Her style is warm, collaborative and engaging.
Michelle has experience delivering both group and individual therapies and is trained in a number of different evidence-based treatment approaches. These treatment approaches include: cognitive-behavioural therapy; dialectical-behaviour therapy; eye-movement desensitisation reprocessing; acceptance and commitment therapy and internal family systems therapy
Michelle is currently accepting new clients who are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. Feel free to email me with any enquiries you may have or alternatively you may call Vita Healthcare for more information on appointment availability, fees etc.
