About me
I am an experienced therapist with many years of practice, passionate about supporting and empowering people to become the best version of themselves. My work is grounded in the belief that meaningful change can be achieved through simple, effective tools and techniques tailored to each individual.
I work from a person-centred approach, placing empathy, understanding, and respect at the heart of every session. I provide a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly. Together, we will decide the most appropriate way to work, drawing on therapeutic techniques, hypnosis, EFT or NLP to support your goals.
Much of my experience has been working with women and couples, particularly around fertility and birthing journeys. More recently my practice has moved towards supporting clients with stress, anxiety, burnout, loss and grief, self-defeating behaviours, limiting beliefs, peri- and menopausal issues, as well as relationship challenges.
I am a psychotherapeutic counsellor too, and am currently studying spiritual life coaching. I also have a particular interest in past life and regression therapy, and in facilitating deep healing and personal insight where appropriate.
My aim is always to help you feel supported, empowered, and better equipped to navigate life with clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.

I am fully insured with Holistic Insurance and adhere to the Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics of the National Hypnotherapy Society and the General Hypnotherapy Register, both of whom I hold membership with.
Member organisations
Hypnotherapists may become members of the General Hypnotherapy Register if they satisfy certain criteria with regard to both training and ongoing requirements as determined from time to time by the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHSC). Members are either registered at Practitioner status (which confirms that the GHR acknowledges their qualification to practice), or Affiliate status. Although Affiliate level registrants will have completed a sufficient number of training hours to equip them to commence seeing clients on a limited basis, the GHR does not acknowledge them to have yet been trained to full practitioner level. All GHR Registered Practitioners are required to accept the published Code of Ethics and Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure.

Testimonial
After biting my nails for as long as I can remember I knew enough was enough as I was spending so much money at the nail salon every month, only to pick them off anyway. After my first session with Michelle I stopped biting them, I had a couple more sessions over the next month to solidify and strengthen my new habit, I honestly can't see myself ever biting my my nails again. Michelle was so kind and friendly, making me feel welcome and relaxed at every session. A.S.
Michelle is wonderful, warm, caring and was extremely understanding of my needs. My recent sessions helped me massively with my peri-menopausal anxiety and in previous years when I was trying to get pregnant. I would recommend session with her a million times over. B.T
Great to talk to, understands and offers good insight. Amazing with Hypnobirthing. H.S
I did Hypnobirthing with Michelle and I have to say she was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to birth naturally. I.A
