Counselling is

Counselling is a therapeutic journey in which you will discover new things about yourself and learn to deal with pain and challenges in healthy and constructive ways.

​

Personal Counselling

Michelle will help you find ways forward through pain, anger, grief, fear, hurt, self-loathing, addiction, anxiety,  feelings of worthlessness and failure, sadness, sexual dysfunction, jealousy and relationship conflict.

​

Her questions will help you to understand and analyse your past and current predicaments. You will become aware of how your conscious and unconscious responses operate in habits and patterns that limit your growth. Importantly you will re-find your skills, strengths and values.

​

Drawing on narrative approaches to therapy Michelle will assist you to reclaim your preferred life stories.

​

Couples Counselling

Michelle will help you identify your strengths as a couple, assist you to communicate effectively with one another so that you can resolve conflict, heal hurts and build intimacy.

Research shows that most couples attend counselling after seven years of conflict which is often too late. Seeking help earlier promotes better outcomes for the relationship recovery. 

Couples Counselling is an effective early intervention. You will be equipped with skills to manage conflict, develop awareness of what the other needs, and grow a mutually satisfying relationship.

​

Children's Counselling 

Michelle has a warm and engaging manner. She has counselled children with a variety of struggles including school attendance, adjusting to parental separation, anxiety, self esteem, grief and loss, behavioural issues, social issues and overcoming the effects of trauma and abuse. 

​

Family Counselling

Family Counselling is an effective way to address issues that are impacting on your family. Issues may include parental conflict, role confusion, sibling rivalry, living with disability or illness, coping with change, grief or loss, understanding child development, and stress. 

Michelle will help you identify your family's strengths, work out better ways to resolve conflict via healthy communication. She will help you rediscover ways of spending time together that are enjoyable.
