Where to start?!.
Working with Michelle was and is an amazing experience, her professionalism and experience is amazing, my personal experience was a tough one, but Michelle was there helping and guiding me.
Bringing hard truths and some really lovely ones, my relationship is even more amazing now with her help and not to mention my own headspace is 110% better. Her ability to make you feel safe and not judged brings a warmth.
She's funny and works with you to finds ways to that work for your needs. Can't thank her enough! HIGHLY recommend.

Michelle has made such a positive impact on myself and my relationship with my husband. Her understanding, great energy and honesty make it so easy to open up to.

Counselling
I feel so grateful for my counsellor. She is not only incredibly talented at what she does, but also so real, authentic, and loving in her approach. With her support, I’ve grown so much as a person, especially in how I understand and manage my emotions. She has shown me the true value of myself and helped me realise that I don’t need validation from others to feel worthy. She’s given me techniques and tools that I can use every day to get through life’s challenges, and they’ve completely changed the way I see myself and the world. Because of her guidance, I feel stronger, more grounded, and more connected to who I really am. More...

Relationship and Marriage Counselling
Had the pleasure of working with Michelle for over 6 months now through a marriage breakdown. Completely amazed at the level of knowledge and support provided throughout this time.
Have personally continued to receive therapy onc on one. Totally life changing progress on extensive personal issues i have struggled with my entire adult life. Unresolved childhood trauma, self esteem, expansion of my emotional intelligence and conscious thought process. Massive improvements in my anxiousness in social situations. Breathing techniques and meditation. The list goes on. Eternally greatful to have such support and guidance. Through what is by far the hardest period of adult life.
Can't recommend enough.

I’ve been seeing Michelle for quite a while now, and she is professional, personable, and makes my time valued. She’s a fantastic counsellor and has helped me greatly in some hard times. I could not recommend her enough.

Michelle is honest and direct. Exactly what I needed to help me through my wake up call. She is truly a master of knowing how the brain works best. I had a bit of dread before the first session but that decreased as each session went on and I really looked forward to seeing her. We worked together to change the direction of my life and I could not be more thankful to have spoken with her. More...

Bereavement Counselling
From the moment Michelle responded to my enquiries for help I immediately felt at ease with her. She was so genuine and considerate of my needs and personal circumstances and eager to adapt to what could work best for me.
Michelle’s bubbly personality and sensitivity makes it easy for me to open up to her, she explains things very simply, and dignifies my feelings 100% while at the same time shares her practical advice that leaves me feeling “ I can actually do this” I feel blessed to have met her she is an answer to my prayers and a genuinely beautiful lady

She helped me navigate loss of trust and heartbreak but more importantly helped me find a whole new level of confidence in myself that i never knew i had.

Michelle was from the very first session/meeting warm friendly, compassionate and professional . It was clear that she set high standards within her clinical practice, theoretical approach and her knowledge base.
I felt at ease with Michelle immediately which enabled me to quickly build a trusting and workable therapeutic relationship . I enjoyed our sessions which I believe have assisted in my moving on with life. Thank you so much.

Michelle has been incredibly supportive in the time that I’ve been seeing her. She has a real understanding of how to listen and advise without taking control. We have discussed numerous personal issues over a few years and she has always managed to help me navigate my way through these with just enough support and empathy. Her no nonsense straight talking makes her perfect for her career and I can’t recommend her highly enough More...

After seeing two psychologists and not progressing. In fact sliding backwards after a out of the blue personal situation arose.
I engaged Michelle to help me.
She has not only worked through this difficult time with me but has given me the tools and awareness to identify when I need implement these skills.
The past two months Michelle has pulled from deep sadness, hurt and frustration to starting to find joy, smile and laugh again.
I would and have recommended Michelle to anyone who needs someone to talk to or more.
Michelle is passionate about helping people.

I have had the fortunate experience to be a client of Michelles. I have worked with her , on and off for the last year. Initially Michelle helped me get through a very difficult time in my life, where there was a breakdown of a relationship, I was very anxious and highly stressed, I didn’t know what to do . Michelle really listened to me, and I felt an immediate connection with her, I could tell she genuinely cared and I immediately felt comfortable. She gave me the tools to use , from my very first session with her , she helped me to heal, not only for myself but also the relationship with my family member. I now just see Michelle every now and then, she is now my mental health coach. I cannot speak highly enough of her , anyone who has the opportunity to receive counselling from Michelle, don’t miss the opportunity, she has been a god send to me . More...

I've recently started counseling with Michelle, and it's been a wonderful experience so far. She has created a safe and supportive space for me to express myself, which has been invaluable. Michelle has provided me with numerous tools to help me work through challenges, gain self-awareness, and build confidence. I'm really grateful to have found her and look forward to continuing our work together. She has a great ability to quickly recognise triggers and patterns that I wasn't aware of, and she provides excellent resources that are helping me grow. Highly recommend!! More...

She truly wants you to succeed in life, and equips you with the tools to do so. Michelle has helped me see the positives in my life.
Anyone that is able to have counselling with her will be very well looked after.
