Michaela is as attentive and thoughtful as she is professional. She's easy to talk to and very helpful with practical suggestions for things I struggle with as well as emotional support. I find my time to talking with her to be very beneficial, and would gladly recommend her to others.

Feeling low or overwhelmed? Not quite sure what’s wrong but not quite yourself? Or do you have a specific issue in your life? If you feel spending sometime talking might help contact me.
I am passionate about working with people from all walks of life to help them overcome their distress. As a counsellor I will not advise but instead provide you with the opportunity to be truly listened to in a safe confidential space. Offering compassion and being non-judgemental I will support you in a process of exploration and reflection. Helping connect you to your own inner strength so together we can progress on your journey to achieving your personal goals, with renewed confidence and through implementing new techniques to help you manage better.
I am an Integrative counsellor based in the UK. Being integratively trained allows me to draw on aspects from different approaches including Gestalt, Person-centred, CBT and Psychodynamic theory. This combined approach creates flexibility enabling the counselling to be tailored to your individual needs. Ensuring you get the support needed.
Whether you are looking for a better way of managing current difficulties or for a greater sense of meaning I am here to help. I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

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.
