Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I have been a client of Michelle's for the last 9-10 months, through the most difficult time of my adult life. Her patience, kindness and compassion as she helped me process some horrific thoughts feelings and emotions was endless. To have a safe space to openly talk and be free of judgment was wonderful and much needed. She was always ready to meet me wherever I was in my journey and was also incredibly knowledgable, giving me some fantastic tools to work with going forward! Thank you again Michelle for all your help!

I've been working with Michelle for two months now, and she's been an incredible support to me during a challenging time. It feels like she is in my team, she raises me up, helps me see my experiences through the poly vagal lense, and helps me join lots of dots up in my fast thinking brain. I recommend Michelle if you have issues with anxiety, triggering, relational compatibility or are going through any kind of difficult time.

Michelle is amazing full of very valuable knowledge and always super understanding. Her wealth of compassion and strategies is next level. So grateful for her to be my therapist.

Michelle has been a wonderful therapist for me. So far I have had three sessions and I have already learned so many things about myself that I would never have guessed or realised independently. Michelle has also helped me to see a variety of ways that this knowledge and understanding can be used to improve my circumstances and work through the difficulties I have in my head. Our sessions are always relaxed and comforting, and as a result I always feel calm at the end of them. Being matched with Michelle has been a revelation in my mental health.

Michelle guides the sessions with a natural ease, like talking to a good friend who happens to also be extremely intellectual, educated, and curious to continue learning more in exactly the way that benefits you, because it clearly also benefits her and everyone’s lives to know what she does. I feel extremely lucky to have her as my therapist.

Michelle has been incredibly approachable, helpful, kind and knowledgable from the get go. In the short amount of time we’ve been working together I’ve seen a huge difference in my approach and confidence with therapy and my day to day routine. I’ve been able to apply skills developed and learned thanks to Michelle in such a small amount of time and look forward to understanding myself more and being able to take things in my stride as best as I can.
