Michele is a compassionate therapist who skilfully listens, supports and offers helpful challenges at appropriate times. She suggests helpful resources and enables me to make progress towards my goals. She’s also fun, kind and easy to talk to. I highly recommend her!

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.
