Hello, I’m Michelle, a Gestalt Psychotherapist, Supervisor, and Equine-Assisted Practitioner. I specialise in supporting individuals who have experienced trauma—both past and recent—offering holistic, personalised therapy that honours each person’s unique journey. Gestalt therapy helps clients deepen their self-awareness, explore how they make sense of the world, and reconnect with presence, rest, and vitality.
My approach is shaped by ongoing engagement with international trauma treatment leaders. With 8+ years in community and private practice, I supports clients facing complex mental health challenges, life stressors, and those seeking meaningful change.
Wondering what the next step might look like? If you’d like to connect, you can book a callback at a time that works for you, or reach out via phone, SMS or email. I’ll work with you to make the process as straightforward and supportive as possible. —— Michelle is a WorkSafe Victoria service provider and sees clients under the NDIS and FAS (formerly VOCAT).
