When Everyone Relies on You.​

​

Counselling and EMDR Therapy for Anxiety, Stress, Burnout, Trauma and Life's Challenges.

​

Hello, I'm Michelle.

​

If you're used to being the person others rely on, it can be difficult to make time for yourself.

Whether you're supporting patients, leading a team, serving in the Armed Forces, working in the police, emergency services, education, healthcare, or managing the demands of a busy professional life, the pressure of always being there for others can take its toll.

​

You may be feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, low in mood, struggling with trauma, or simply finding it harder to keep carrying everything on your own.

You don't have to face that alone.

​

As an Accredited BACP Counsellor, and former Senior Counsellor supporting NHS staff, I have many years of experience helping people through difficult periods in their lives. I understand how hard it can be to ask for support when you're used to coping, carrying on and putting other people's needs first.

​

I offer a warm, compassionate and confidential space where you can talk openly about what's going on for you. There is no judgement, no pressure and no expectation to have all the answers.

​

My approach is primarily Person-Centred and I also integrate EMDR, Compassion Focused Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy where these may be helpful. Together, we can work towards helping you feel more like yourself again

.

I can help with: 

• Anxiety and worry

• Stress and burnout

• Trauma and EMDR therapy

• Low mood and depression

• Compassion fatigue

• Bereavement and loss

• Relationship difficulties

• Self-esteem and confidence

• Workplace stress

• Life changes and personal challenges

• ​

Supporting the People Who Support Others

​

Throughout my career, I have worked alongside NHS staff, frontline workers and people in demanding professions. Many of my clients spend their lives caring for, supporting, protecting or leading others.

​

Counselling offers a space where you can put some of that down for a while.

​

A space where you don't have to be the strong one.

If you're thinking about counselling and would like to find out more, please get in touch. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
