What people really need is a good listening to!
Hi, I'm Michelle - a BACP-registered and NCPS-accredited psychotherapist/Counsellor
I provide one-to-one therapy for adults in the semi-rural, historic area of Liversedge, West Yorkshire. I offer the flexibility of in-person appointments or remote support via video link.
Clients often say that my down-to-earth, approachable manner and open-mindedness help them feel comfortable and understood. My years of psychotherapeutic training, together with my varied life experiences, have helped me develop a genuinely non-judgemental approach to my work. I operate my practice with compassion, viewing you as a person rather than a 'patient'.
My approach is friendly, empathic, and modern, without the daunting, clinical feel that many people associate with therapy. I aim to provide a service that balances professionalism with warmth and humanity, helping you feel at ease enough to talk openly and honestly.
I believe that sometimes having someone genuinely listen, without judgement or an agenda, can make a huge difference.
As an Integrative therapist, I blend techniques from various models of talking therapies, tailoring my style to suit each individual.
I work with a wide range of issues - please click the menu tab for 'Issues' at the top of this page for a non-exhaustive list. If you don't see your problem listed, please get in touch, as it's likely i'll be able to help.
And yes, I even have a sense of humour! I think being able to laugh when appropriate can be part of feeling comfortable and human, too.
I don't believe that something is necessarily a problem simply because it falls outside conventional expectations. I am non-judgemental when it comes to sex work and alternative lifestyle choices.
As a former Professional Member of the Institute of Psychedelic Therapy, I'm also comfortable discussing experiences involving recreational substances. (although I do not provide psychedelic-assisted therapy or addiction counselling).
I specialise in working therapeutically with neurodivergent clients (particularly Autism, ADHD, and AuDHD, & I also have an understanding of Dyspraxia, Dyslexia & Dyscalculia).
I work with both diagnosed and undiagnosed clients, both pre- and post-assessment, and those who believe they may be neurodivergent. While only clinical psychologists and psychiatrists can formally diagnose, I provide support for the emotional impact. Please click the menu tab for 'Neurodivergence' at the top of this page for full info on my neuro-affirming counselling service.
I welcome both male and female clients over the age of eighteen, of any race, faith, and sexual orientation. Please note that I do not work with couples or families.
