I am a warm and non-judgmental therapist, who enjoys working collaboratively with my clients. I use a humanistic approach and a variety of evidence-based techniques to facilitate goal achievements. I work reflectively and obtain feedback from my clients to ensure treatment plans make genuine sense through their time in therapy. I provide a welcoming space for my younger clients where they feel free to express their emotions and thoughts in a safe and fun manner (play therapy, artistic activities or verbal communication). Having lived in several countries, I have a broad understanding of cultural differences and human diversity.

You may have been struggling for some time. Something isn’t working and life could be better. You have probably tried all sorts of things on your own, but therapy can be a way for you to get a fresh perspective with the help of someone who has an expertise in mental health. I am a Clinical Psychologist who works with people experiencing low mood, anxiety, past trauma, chronic pain, other health conditions, OCD, relationship difficulties, and sleep problems, and those seeking therapy as a way to live a more meaningful life. Most of my clients experience improvements in symptoms after a course of therapy.

Hi, my name's Michele and I offer counselling and psychotherapy to adults who are experiencing emotional distress that prevents them from functioning well in their work and personal lives. You may want to see a psychologist if you are experiencing excessive worry, panicky feelings, low mood, low energy or loss of interest in things. You might be going through a life transition, experiencing grief after a loss or having relationship difficulties. 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.
