Hypnotherapy

My daughter saw Michelle for stress/anxiety related to some past bullying. My daughter was reluctant at first to get help, but once she met Michelle she was on board with the hypnotherapy/counselling and I have seen some positive changes. She told me that she felt really comfortable with her and that she's had some good results with some of the strategies they are using in their sessions. I also feel very comfortable to check in with Michelle and see how it's going, which is reassuring as a Mum. I can highly recommend Michelle for youth counselling/coaching/hypnotherapy. More...

Counselling

I just had my first session with Michelle and I feel so much better. I've been struggling with memories from my past and feeling like they've been interfering with my relationship. I like that I was able to talk about what's been happening but also that she had some specific processes that we could do in the session to help me change my thinking. I got insight into my situation that I would never have had on my own. More...

Therapist

Michelle is far the best Therapist that I could possible ever ask for. She is an amazing good listener and provides constructive feedback. She is therapist that truly dedicates her time for her clients and willing to comprehend their issues. As well as finding ways to resolve them and bring peace to those matters. I have liberated myself from my mental issues through my sessions with her. She has vast knowledge and experience in her field, and a great capacity to assist when you are in need.
I cannot thank her enough for her time and efforts.
Spasibo!

You are very kind. Don't forget that you are showing up and willing to self-reflect, too! All the best :)

After years of frustration with 'talk psychology', which often dredged up memories which I didn't want to relieve, Michelle's practical approach and her processes were a breath of fresh air!

One her key strengths is that she has a wealth of holistic trauma therapy tools which allow her focus on me as an individual as a whole, rather than just their symptoms or the traumatic event itself. She never once labelled me, instead she helped me to gain a better understanding of my experiences and to develop a more holistic approach to move toward true healing.

Thank you for your kind words, Ralph. Sometimes it's important to discuss the past, but sometimes it's also not useful and reliving it again and again can cause harm, as you say. It's super important to have some strategies for dealing with symptoms as they arise too, outside of the session. I'm glad you've found them so helpful!

I'm a Male in my 20s. I have seen specialists and life coaches who had given me sound advice but I couldn't connect and it never helped me escape my negative spiral. I was desperate and frustrated with not being able to solve my issues which just made it worse. Michelle understood and listened like no one has before. Through her practices and processes, she helped me cultivate my own self compassion and gain awareness. She has a tested and trialed method that helps confusion become clear and life a lot easier. I finally have time to relax. More...

Q&As

I'm very grateful to be a trauma specialist as there is so much suffering in the world and to be able to hold a client in complete compassion and help them find their own inner strength and learn the strategies to survive and thrive is an absolute blessing. My core value is to be of service in this life, so I cannot imagine being in any other profession! I feel so much gratitude each time a client has an aha moment and - after months or more - is able to say 'I feel so much lighter'.

https://michelle-dixon.com/my-journey/
I retrained as a practitioner with a speciality in trauma after being an academic and a mother to 3, and seeing the need to support people to live well despite past suffering. I began with body-based therapies and my qualifications include a range of bodywork modalities that helped me understand how the nervous system holds and can release held trauma. I then did mind-based changework to help my clients rewire their thinking, using hypnotherapy, mindfulness and more.

I don't use a one-size-fits-all approach and I'm not stuck in one particular paradigm. Over ten years I've done multiple practitioner trainings and gained a large toolkit of change techniques, including hypnotherapy, mindfulness, and body-based trauma release, so actually it's my client who drives our sessions and it's their circumstances which determine which tool we use. Crucially, I give my clients strategies and tools to use at home in order to learn how to heal and build resilience. I have a top-rated Udemy course on self-care and an online program for trauma healing, in addition to multiple publications and I have been a guest on many podcasts about holistic trauma healing too (see https://michelle-dixon.com)

Yes, my business is mostly online though I see some clients in Sydney. I use Zoom but can use other video call platforms if need be.
