Welcome

Hi I’m Michelle a qualified, experienced BACP registered counsellor offering private counselling sessions online and face to face counselling sessions from my practice in Brownshill near to Stroud.

Over the years it’s been my privilege to work with a diverse client base from many different cultures and backgrounds experiencing problems such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief and PTSD to name but a few.

As my practice has grown I have come to deeply believe that it is the relationship built with your counsellor; one of mutual respect, unconditional positive regard and safety which is the most important aspect of effective therapy.

With that in mind it is crucial that you choose a counsellor that you feel safe and comfortable with. Perhaps that will be me or perhaps you will decide upon someone else, but please feel free to have a look around my site and get a flavour of what I'm all about.

Whatever life throws at us, if we are in touch with our own unique ways of looking at the world and are able to understand why we think and behave in certain ways, we have the power within us to not only cope, but to grow, flourish and live an authentic , enriched and happy life.

I’ve walked this path myself so I am aware that the process can be a painful, surprising, challenging and empowering at times, but we can walk the path at your own pace curiously exploring what’s important to you whilst you complete this important work.

I hope you find the answers to any questions you might have here, but don’t hesitate to call or email if you’d like more information.
