Meet Michelle – Online or Face-to-face Therapist
Sometimes the difficulty isn’t just within one person.
It shows up in relationships – in communication, in conflict, in distance, or in patterns that seem to repeat over time.
You might find yourself having the same conversations again and again, feeling misunderstood, or unsure how things became this way.
How I work
I work with adults, couples and families, with a focus on how relationships and patterns develop – and how they begin to shift.
This might include:
- ongoing conflict and tension
- communication breaking down
- feeling unheard or misunderstood
- relationship strain or separation
- difficulties between parents and children
- patterns that repeat across relationships
Rather than looking at one person in isolation, we explore what’s happening between people – helping you understand the patterns underneath and find different ways forward.
Who this is for
This work can be helpful if:
- things feel stuck between you and someone important
- the same issues keep coming up in your relationship
- communication feels difficult or strained
- you’re navigating change within your family or relationship
- you want to understand why things feel this way, not just cope with them
How It Feels to Work With Me
My approach is calm, collaborative and thoughtful.
We work at a pace that feels manageable, creating space to understand what’s happening beneath the surface – not just what’s visible day to day.
There’s no pressure to have everything figured out. We begin with where you are.
Online working is a central part of how I practice – not simply an alternative, but an equally powerful way to create a focused, contained therapeutic space. Many people find that online sessions feel just as meaningful and effective as meeting in person, with the added benefits of flexibility and comfort.
Whether we meet in person or online, my approach remains the same: helping individuals, couples and families explore patterns and dynamics, understand relationships in real time, and create lasting change – in whichever environment feels right for you.
