Therapy Approach

Michelle uses a range of techniques and approaches such as Narrative, Psychodynamic and Mindfulness, to build a therapeutic relationship and create a welcoming and safe environment.

Michelle believes that the client is the expert on their lives and ways of being, and works together with the client to seek and develop integration, healing and achievement of client goals for coming to see a therapist. She also feels it is an honour and a privilege to witness a clients journey and the resilience of the human spirit.
