Making a decision to find someone to support you on your journey can be a difficult step to take. With so many questions to answer, it can feel a little intimidating. How do you know you're going to find the right fit for you? Are there questions you'd like answered but you don't know how to phrase them?

Before we start our journey, one of the most important steps is ensuring that you feel comfortable, and getting answers to the questions you may have while talking through your options together.

As a Person-Centred Counsellor, my work is at a pace that suits you, offering both short term and long-term therapy depending upon your needs. It's important that you remain in control of how your therapy progresses, I like to think that you are in the driving seat throughout our time together.

I can offer a safe environment for us to explore whatever you may wish to bring to each session, with empathy. We can work together to build a trusting and therapeutic relationship, without judgement, which enables you to explore your thoughts and feelings and come to a better understanding and management of them. We all have the ability to grow with the right tools to create that growth and understanding.

I have over ten years of experience in working with adults from differing backgrounds, through a range of issues, particularly around domestic and sexual abuse and bereavement.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Michelle is a very compassionate and skilled therapist who creates a safe and supportive environment for personal reflection and healing. Her insightful guidance has already made a profound difference in my mental well-being.

Reviewed September 2024

Never doing therapy before I was very nervous going in, but having a person centered therapist means I can do things in the way that suits me. There is no expectation from Michelle, she makes me think about what my reasons are and calls me out when I’m unrealistic. I couldn’t recommend her enough after only 3 weeks I’m learning more about myself than I thought possible.

Michelle is always there. She really cares above and beyond. She allows me to be me and then gives me strong advice when I need it. That is nothing generic, I mean advice totally based on me and my needs and she gives it in a timely manner. Her timing is excellent. She knows when to listen and when to help. Michelle is a truly genuine and caring person.

Michelle helped me to come to terms with my grief and family conflict over a family member's illness and passing. She helped me to resolve the anger and anxiety that I felt as a result of these events, and to come up with coping strategies going forward. If I ever need to speak with a therapist again, I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to her again.

Speaking with Michelle is like speaking with a good friend but without having the fear of being a burden or judgement, she one of life's guardian angels - she just sheds the light with such a positive energy, her technique is very laid back and non pressurised.
