Hi, I'm Michelle - a BACP registered & NCPS Accredited Integrative Psychotherapist/Counsellor, providing one-to-one therapy for adults, in the semi-rural, historic area of Liversedge, West Yorkshire. I offer the flexibility of in-person, walk-&-talk sessions, or remote support via video link. Clients often say my down-to-earth demeanor and open-mindedness help them feel comfortable and understood. I attribute this to my years of psychotherapeutic training and my unusual life experiences, which have helped me be completely non-judgemental in my work. I operate my practice with compassion, viewing you as a person – not a 'patient'.
My approach is friendly, empathic, and modern - without that daunting, clinical feel that many expect from therapy. I strive to provide a service that balances both humanness and professionalism, helping you to feel at ease enough to fully open up. And yes, I even have a sense of humour (when the moment calls for it, of course).
I am certified in working therapeutically with neurodivergent clients (particularly Autism, ADHD, and AuDHD), diagnosed and self-diagnosed. I am a Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diversity-trained therapist, welcoming clients over eighteen of any gender, race, or faith. I am LGBTQ+ friendly, sex-worker allied, and supportive of alternative lifestyles.
