More about Michele

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am a qualified integrative counsellor and I work within an ethical framework to ensure my clients receive the support they need in an emphatic and non-judgmental environment. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, anger management, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

In your therapy sessions you will be not only be listened to but 'heard'. Sometimes we just need to feel like someone 'gets' us and as we work together I will endeavour to see your world through your eyes with compassion and acceptance.

About online counseling

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.

Reviewed December 2024

I am only on my third session of counselling with Michele and already I feel like I have learned a lot about myself. I have felt listened to, not judged and encouraged to see the qualities in myself which is building on my self esteem. I look forward to my sessions each week and Michele always gives me things to reflect on. Michele has a lovely aura and makes me feel like i can tell her anything. Would highly recommend anyone thinking about having therapy.

I have found my sessions with Michele extremely helpful. This is my first experience with counselling and Michele has made me feel relaxed, allowing me to take my time when going through things. She is thoughtful and she shows empathy. Her responses are always considerate and supportive. I feel I have made good progress, in just a few sessions with her. I can’t recommend her enough.
