About Michelle
My path to becoming a counsellor began after years in high-pressure work environments that left me feeling exhausted and disconnected. That experience became the turning point that led me to yoga, and to a deeper journey of healing and growth.
In my first yoga class, the words “Today is the best day of your life” sparked something profound. It was a reminder that change is always possible, and that every moment holds the potential for renewal.
Over time, I began to understand how our experiences shape the way we see ourselves, relate to others and respond to life's challenges. That understanding continues to shape my work as a counsellor, particularly my interest in the patterns we develop to cope, protect ourselves and navigate the world.
Yoga taught me the value of presence, curiosity and self-compassion, qualities that remain at the heart of my counselling practice. I don't work from a set formula. I listen, and we build each session around what matters most to you, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, grief, burnout, separation, relationship difficulties and life transitions, with a particular interest in how early experiences and relationships shape the patterns we carry into adulthood.
For me, counselling is about creating space to understand yourself more deeply, recognise what may no longer be serving you and discover new ways of relating to yourself and the world around you.
I hold a Bachelor of Counselling and am registered with PACFA. My professional development currently includes Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Clinical Family Therapy.
