What people really need is a good listening to!
Hi, I'm Michelle - a BACP and NCPS registered Psychotherapist/Counsellor
I offer private one-to-one therapy for adults, in the semi-rural, historic area of Liversedge, West Yorkshire, with the flexibility of in-person, walk-and-talk sessions, or remote support via video link - whichever suits you best. I provide a pressure-free space where you’re supported and accepted exactly as you are. Clients often say my down-to-earth demeanor and open-mindedness help them feel comfortable and understood. I attribute this to my years of psychotherapeutic training and my unusual life experiences, which have helped me be completely non-judgemental in my work.
My approach is professional yet warm and modern – without the intimidating, clinical feel that many expect from therapy. And yes, I even have a sense of humour (when the moment calls for it, of course).
As an Integrative therapist, I blend techniques from various models of talking therapies, tailoring my style to suit each individual.
I operate my practice with compassion, viewing you as a person – not a 'patient'. No client is just a number—I genuinely care about each person’s well-being. Everybody has a unique story, many of which have touched my heart over the years.
I work with a wide range of issues, most commonly anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, workplace stress, relationships, bereavement/grief, and family concerns. Please note that I work with adults only, and I do not provide couples or telephone counselling.
As a former Professional Member of the Institute of Psychedelic Therapy, I am recreational substances (and chemsex) aware, offering a judgement-free space to explore personal experiences—both positive and negative (though I do not specialise in addiction counselling).
I am certified in working therapeutically with neurodivergent clients (particularly Autism, ADHD, and AuDHD)
I work with both diagnosed and undiagnosed clients, both pre- and post-assessment. While only clinical psychologists can formally diagnose, I provide support for the emotional impact. I have an in-depth understanding of how neurodivergence can present differently in women, my practice is neurodivergent-affirming, sensory-stimulating, and adaptable to individual needs, as much as my working environment will allow.
I am a Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diversity-trained therapist. I welcome clients over eighteen of any gender, race, or faith. I am LGBTQ+ friendly, sex-worker allied, and supportive of alternative lifestyles. My policy is that something is only a problem if it’s a problem for YOU.
