My aim it will be to help you to understand your motivations and patterns of behaviour, and to help you building resilience and how to better manage the contradictions and difficulties of life.
Hello, my name is Michelle, I am a qualified and registered integrative therapist. As an Integrative Psychotherapist I use a variety of different approaches, drawing on whatever seems most helpful to you. This allows me to adapt my way of working to each client’s individual needs. I very much view therapy as a collaborative process, where both therapist and client contribute, and the main focus is on building a supportive and trusting relationship. As an integrative therapist I am trained in three main therapeutic frames, the Psychodynamic, Humanistic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

In addition, I offer a space to explore life issues and relationship difficulties although I do not offer couples' counselling.
I offer Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, person-centered therapy, EMDR and psychodynamic thinking in my work. CBT is very helpful for many of the low mood and anxiety disorders. However, sometimes clients need more space to explore underlying issues to make connections with how they are feeling and behaving. I offer EMDR for trauma based work.

I work with clients managing anxiety, low mood, relationship breakdown, divorce, stress, and periods of crisis, as well as those navigating life transitions, burnout, and challenges around identity and self-esteem.
Together, we explore patterns, experiences, and what may be keeping things feeling stuck, while also thinking practically about how things can begin to shift . Alongside this, I incorporate elements of coaching where appropriate, supporting clients not only to understand themselves more deeply, but also to move forward in a more grounded and positive way.

‘We all need someone to talk to some of the time’ and across the multi-dimensional layers of personality and global connectedness, to be human means we will be faced with situations and events during our lifetime that we believe a hundred percent, we will have little or no chance of sorting out or finding solutions to. The truism is there are always solutions, some more easily achievable and likeable, others less so. Nonetheless these too are solutions and place ALL at the doorway of all possibility. The wisdom then is to stand in the doorway to commence the healing transformations of finding answers and pathways towards resolution.

Maybe now's the time for breakthrough discoveries and a brand new life you'll love.
Success is often depicted as a series of milestones achieved through talent, hard work, and perseverance. Yet, there’s a hidden dimension to success that goes beyond external accomplishments. The "secret language of success" includes understanding and overcoming personal emotional challenges that can impede our progress. Every successful individual has faced various personal challenges. Typically, the impact of such challenges goes unnoticed for quite some time. Anxiety can make it hard for us to focus and perform. Depression can cast a shadow over our aspirations. Low self-esteem and self-doubt can inhibit our confidence.

I work with adults who appear to be coping but feel anxious, overwhelmed or stuck. Many struggle with overthinking, difficulty switching off, low mood, or patterns they don’t fully understand. I also support those who find it hard to open up, including men’s mental health. I provide a calm, non-judgemental space to help you understand what’s going on beneath the surface, gain clarity, and move forward with greater confidence and emotional balance.

Life Coaching Counsellors
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.

Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.

Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.

How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
