Counselling and psychotherapy are recognised as effective ways of helping you to explore your issues in a safe, non-judgemental and confidential environment. By focusing on significant life events both past and present, feelings, emotions, ways of thinking and patterns of behaviour, I will help you to examine your difficulties in depth and identify the best course of action for you, either to help you resolve your problems or find ways of coping.

depression, anxiety, addictive tendencies, issues within relationships, unhelpful patterns of relating, and they want to feel better.
I work in a client-led way, which means that I do believe that clients are able to hold the steering wheel of the therapeutic conversation with me assisting them in their journey and discoveries, which inevitably happen along the way. This does not mean that I am not active in the process. I am. And I am interested in the influence of the past on today.

Many people come to therapy when stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, or long-standing emotional patterns begin to feel difficult to manage alone.
I offer integrative psychotherapy, tailoring the work to you rather than relying on a single approach. We explore patterns in thoughts, emotions, and relationships to better understand what may be maintaining current difficulties. The work focuses on increasing clarity and making sense of your experience, identifying what feels possible and for you.

I've worked with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, panic attacks, bereavement, trauma, abuse, problems at school, college or university, family and relationship difficulties, and issues around gender, sexuality and identity.
Sometimes people come to counselling or therapy with a particular symptom, after a significant life event or with work-related difficulties. Other times it's more about not quite feeling fulfilled in life, career or relationships. I believe the many ways we come to understand and make sense of who we are, including how we relate to others and the world around us, are central to our mental health and physical wellbeing. Unforseen life events, separations, losses and disappointments can all profoundly affect our sense of who we are.

You may find yourself wanting to move forward in life, yet something keeps holding you back – whether that is chronic procrastination, self-doubt, or a fear of getting it wrong.
Often, these patterns are not random. They can be rooted in earlier experiences – such as difficulty connecting, not getting the emotional support you needed as a child, trauma, or taking on adult responsibilities as a child – where you may have learned to prioritise others, doubt your needs, or hide parts of who you are in order to feel accepted or safe.

I am a psychotherapist and supervisor and hold a master’s degree in Mindfulness Based Core Process Psychotherapy. Currently, I am also in the accreditation process for EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). One focus of my work is exploring the space where mind and body meet. I believe they are not separate. By listening to the body, we create pathways to our current and past experiences. This interest led me to EMDR and the idea that experiences can be ‘locked’ in our bodies. EMDR a method which is effective in treating individuals who have psychological difficulties arising from traumatic experiences.

Are you feeling stuck in painful relationship dynamics, struggling with intimacy or sexual challenges, or navigating the complexities of cultural transition and identity? Do you feel like some parts of you are lost, wounded, or out of sync - with your partner, your body, or your sense of self? You may be carrying stories that no longer serve you, shaped by culture, past relationships, or unspoken wounds. As an integrative counsellor, psychosexual and relationship therapist, I offer a space where all of you is welcome - where we slow down, listen deeply, and gently reconnect you with who you are, and how you want to live and love.

We may explore your history applying a psychodynamic lens, or apply mindfulness and behavioural techniques (like DBT) for real-world change depending on what serves you best in resolving issues such as grief, anxiety, or relational and workplace stress.
I believe therapy is a collaborative experiment aimed at tangibly and enduringly improving the quality of your life. Success often begins by formulating the right questions. As an experienced assessor and case manager, I excel at fostering curiosity to connect seemingly disparate threads in your story. This process creates new understanding and provides space to address the challenges we often keep hidden—unpacking them with more care and honesty than day-to-day life typically allows. In this, I follow a person-centred foundation that prioritises safety and careful listening.

I specialise in working with complex difficulties, including trauma depression, anxiety and relationship issues and draw on a range of evidence-based psychological models, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Hello, I'm Michelle, a culturally informed Psychotherapist (BACP registered) and Trainee Counselling Psychologist, currently working across NHS secondary care and inpatient services, as well as in private practice for over 5 years. It takes strength to seek support and I commend you for taking the first step. Often we may arrive at therapy with a goal in mind, however what is more important is allowing self-permission to trust and place faith in the process of being, encouraging personal growth and self-awareness.

Repetitive patterns, unconscious processes, often drive self-criticism, intimacy difficulties & persistent anxiety or depression.
Please do get in touch if you are experiencing relationship or personal difficulties. I’ve been helping those suffering psychological problems for over a decade. Primarily an Adult & Young person Counsellor / Psychotherapist, I’m frequently approached by people in creative or performance roles, the Arts, TV, Sport, etc. While specific issues often bring us to counselling, I work at depth from a psychoanalytically informed vantage where the broader landscape of emotional life is brought into frame. From comfortable rooms in London Bridge, SE1 & Stamford, PE9, I can also work with you online, a popular but no less effective format.
