About Me

Hi, I’m Michelle, I am a highly experienced CBT Therapist and Life & Health Coach with over 20 years of expertise in the mental health field. My passion lies in empowering individuals to navigate challenges, build resilience, and create meaningful change in their lives.

Throughout my career, I have worked across NHS and private sectors, delivering evidence-based therapy in community settings, clinics, schools, family assessment units, and homes. My approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), complemented by a systemic and holistic perspective that addresses the broader influences on mental well-being.

I offer individual therapy, family therapy, parenting support, and systemic interventions, tailoring each session to meet the unique needs of my clients. Whether working with individuals, families, or multi-disciplinary teams, I focus on practical strategies that foster emotional well-being, self-awareness, and long-term resilience.

I am deeply committed to helping people take control of their mental health, ensuring they feel heard, supported, and equipped with the tools to thrive.

How I Can Help You

If you are considering Talking Therapy and searching for a therapist who is CURRENT AND PRESENT, you have been guided to the right place.


There maybe specific reasons you would like to explore, such as:

Anxiety

Stress

Low mood

Depression

Worry

Panic

and many others

Please see section on services I offer for further details.

As a therapist I can help you to explore and look deeper into yourself and guide you to paying attention to your emotions, feelings, patterns of behaviour and develop strategies to support you with this. Sometimes life's challenges are confusing and unsettling, and you may be struggling to deal with what life throws at you.

This is especially the case at present as lockdown eases, which may further heighten the anxiety and uncertainty you may already be experiencing. Your priorities and way of life may have changed and this in turn might be affecting you in varied and often conflicting and confusing ways.

My approach is very different to other and have had an abundance of fantastic long term results. I offer you my warmth, empathy and compassion, without judgement, and I welcome the opportunity to work alongside you, as we navigate through even the most difficult times in your life. I am great at what I do, but more importantly I love what I do, seeing my clients grow and develop gives me the best joy.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Coaching in South London

I have tried various therapies before and none have had the effect that Michelle's process has. She took the time to work through my panic attacks and heightened and emotional state, and I feel like I now have tools that I will forever use. I don't cry all the time, my panic attacks are limited, I'm managing stress and stressors and I feel like I can finally function as a human being. This is what true mental health work looks like and it has made me a more resilient human being who actually is starting to ENJOY life again. I don't feel so scared anymore. And I can finally start living. Thank you Michelle.

The therapy I have had as been incredible and has not only helped me understand myself and illness but to gain a better relationship with myself and my emotions I’ve learnt so many tools kits to help me daily and providing I practice them regularly they have kept me well and stable and able to live life more positively I know that it is something I have to continue to work on regular basis.

Lisa

"You as a therapist and CBT as a process has given me my life back. Until I opened up to you, I didn’t even realise how much I had closed off to myself and how much I had avoided doing because it was too difficult and painful. Panic attacks are horrendous both physically and mentally and it’s easier to avoid situations that deal with them. You gave me so many strategies to break down those barriers - You celebrated every success I had and empowered me to keep trying. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
