I work with people who want to understand themselves more deeply and I help them find ways of living that feel more grounded, connected, and sustainable -moving beyond just symptom management. Many of the people I see are thoughtful and capable, but feel emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or unsure how to make sense of what they’re experiencing.
In therapy, I offer a calm and collaborative space to slow things down and explore what’s happening beneath the surface. I’m interested in how your experiences, relationships, and environments have shaped the ways you cope, relate, and respond to yourself.

I particularly enjoy working with young adults as they navigate change along their journey of life. I work with adults of all ages, genders, cultures, economic backgrounds and sexual orientations. Face to face is optimal however I am able to conduct counselling via telehealth or phone.

Im a compassionate and down-to-earth psychologist who welcomes all adult clients from early adulthood to older adults.

You’re someone others rely on—thoughtful, capable, and deeply caring. Yet beneath the surface, you might feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your body. Perhaps you're grappling with unresolved experiences, challenges in your relationship with food, or adjusting to new roles like motherhood. It's common to feel like you've lost touch with yourself amid these transitions.

My name is Michelle Jackson and I have been working in mental health for over 30 years in various settings. I have an incredible passion and commitment to working with people whose lives have been pushed around by a broad range of mental health issues. I hope in meeting with people that they will feel heard, validated, and not judged. I hope that people will leave each conversation having had a very different sort of conversation, a conversation where people leave with a greater understanding of their issues and the context surrounding the issue, what they might be preferring for their life and how that might be possible.

I have a special interest in working with trauma & perinatal mental health issues.
We can all become stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. Patterns of thoughts, emotions and behaviours that keep us stuck and get in the way of living a satisfying life. Trauma or difficult experiences can have a lasting impact on us, influencing the way we see ourselves, people and the world around us. I am collaborative in my approach and endeavour to meet you with kindness, warmth, and a non-judgemental approach.

Life is a hard teacher. It's not always forgiving and sometimes the lessons are completely overwhelming. It can create internal experiences that appear utterly intolerable, leaving you wrought with anxiety, trauma, stress, panic or depression. I will work alongside you, to give you strategies to work through these dark moments so that you can live a life with meaning and purpose.

My approach is warm, relaxed, and down to earth, no judgment, just genuine care and practical support. I’m a generally registered psychologist who works with children, adolescents, and adults around concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-harm, emotional regulation, stress, and major life transitions. I also work with neurodivergent individuals and those exploring their identity, strengths, and challenges in a world that doesn’t always make space for how their brains work.
