You’re overwhelmed and exhausted, but you're too busy to allow yourself the permission to take a break. You don't feel good enough, and beat yourself up for your mistakes - maybe you even lie awake at night, worrying about screwing up your kids or losing your work. No wonder you're tired, snappy and unhappy at times, from the lack of rest, recovery and balance in your life. Imagine if you could get your zest for life back, to feel a sense of ease and peace, and calm that overwhelm. You would be more focused, efficient and effective, getting your work done in less time, with more time for fun with your family.

We hold an initial session with the individual and their family, partner or other supporters as appropriate, to discuss their options for diagnostic assessment and whether an assessment and diagnosis is what they need at this stage or if they just want to understand their own issues and need greater understanding and support to develop their life skills.

My background is in addictions and family work.
I practice under an integrative approach which means I draw from a variety of models and techniques of counselling and psychotherapy to ensure that anyone who comes to see me has the opportunity to be met and understood as a unique individual. I provide a safe, contained and confidential space, where you can explore your unique issues, providing a non-judgemental and supportive space for you to work at your own pace. The principal goal in therapy is to assist in the learning of trusting in your own process, which gives way to self-empowerment and the ability to make choices from a deeper part of yourself.

My ideal client feels stuck—whether in their personal life, career, or relationships. They may be dealing with stress, anxiety, OCD, depression, or navigating family or couples dynamics. Some are professionals seeking balance or relief from overwhelming demands. They want practical, evidence-based solutions to move forward, find peace, and develop self-compassion. Their goals are feeling healthy, achieving growth, self-awareness, and balance, seeking transformation beyond coping. I love guiding clients through their journey, helping them find clarity and sustainable change as they thrive personally and professionally. Panta-rei.

Hello, my name is Michelle, As a counsellor and psychotherapist, I am all too aware of just how daunting taking that initial step towards counselling can be. The mere fact that you are reading this now means you are just a phone call away from putting that right. While we sometimes turn to a friend or family member in our hour of need, it is when the problem lies with our nearest and dearest that we should consult with a professional.

Are you or your family struggling with sleep? Feeling like you’ve tried everything but still can’t get the sleep you need? Maybe you’re struggling to get out of bed in the morning. Or perhaps getting your teen to sleep is a nightly battle. It can be frustrating and exhausting when you or a member of your family aren’t sleeping. And when one family member isn’t sleeping well, the rest of the family usually aren’t sleeping well either. Relationships can become strained, work or school performance can suffer, and it can feel really isolating. Without good sleep it can feel like everything is falling apart.

Family Therapy Counsellors
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
