Common issues I work with

 At Higher Ground Counselling, I offer confidential support for a wide range of issues. If your concern isn’t listed, feel free to reach out, as I may still be able to help. I'm here to share the burden with you, to really listen, and to support you when you feel stuck. 

Thanks, Michelle 

I accept the following insurance companies and employee assistance providers (If you have a policy, please enquire with them before booking with me, to ensure your policy covers your therapy fees). If your insurer isn't listed, and it is an 'open or out of

 network provider', please do get in touch with me to ask, as it's likely I will still be able to work with you.
