About me
Welcome. My name is Michele. I'm a registered psychotherapist (BACP) and accredited psychodynamic counsellor (UKCP) and (NCS) - I help individuals and couples with their emotional health. I have private and public sector experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist. My focus involves abuse, depression and narcissistic personality disorder, and the specific problems encountered by men, women and LGBT+ people. I offer therapy for individuals, partners, and couples affected by sex & porn addiction, in addition to substance and other behavioural addictions, and eating disorders. I also work with those who feel their sexual drive may be unnatural and driven towards compulsive and illegal behaviours such as sexual and Internet sexual abuse.
What to Expect An initial assessment meeting allows you to see if you feel comfortable with me, discuss what concerns you, ask questions, clarify confidentiality, and determine if therapy could assist you.
Psychodynamic Therapy Psychodynamic therapy centres on the unconscious meaning of the issues you experience. It facilitates you in being conscious of aspects of your inner dynamics. Psychodynamic therapy aims to increase your self-comprehension to give you choices.
Psychotherapy Psychotherapy focuses on you, and you obtaining insight into the difficulties you face. It considers your ideas, feelings and significant moments in your history. Psychotherapy aims to help you change or discover suitable methods of managing.
