More about Michelle

Do you struggle with anxiety, and loss of a sense of self that affects your day-to-day life, ability to function or your relationship? Do you feel overwhelmed, and exhausted by getting through the day, thinking there is no light at the end of the tunnel? Do you question if life could be better?

I believe that everyone has the potential to live a fulfilling life. I help you overcome challenges and achieve your goals. I know it can be daunting to be vulnerable and seek someone to listen, together we can take the first step.

Counselling offers support for many aspects of life. You may wish to talk through a difficult experience, or perhaps you are struggling to decide an answer to a question. You may have become aware that patterns seem to repeat themselves in your life in a way that does not feel beneficial.

I am credentialed in the UK with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, & coping with grief and loss. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
