Therapy with Michelle (Herts)

I’m Michelle, an integrative counsellor, hypnotherapist, EFT and NLP practitioner. I began my career as a therapist in 2008, initially specialising in fertility and birth hypnosis, and have since expanded my practice to support people through a much wider range of emotional challenges and life experiences. I’m particularly passionate about supporting people experiencing loss, grief and bereavement, including baby loss, as well as anxiety, burnout, workplace bereavement and difficult life transitions. I have completed specialist bereavement training, including training with Sands, and understand that grief can affect every part of our lives and can look very different from person to person. My approach is pluralistic and integrative, which means I don’t believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I work collaboratively with you, taking time to understand your individual experiences, needs and goals. My counselling is grounded in a person-centred approach, offering a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard and understood. Where appropriate and with your agreement, I may also draw on my experience in hypnotherapy, EFT (tapping) and NLP to complement our work together. I offer in-person and online therapy, and I work with adults who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, exhausted or simply unsure of how to move forward. Whether you are dealing with a significant loss, navigating a period of change, or struggling with something that has been building for some time, you don't have to work through it alone. My aim is to create a genuine therapeutic relationship where you feel comfortable being yourself, exploring what is happening for you, and finding a way forward that feels right for you. Qualifications include: Level 5 Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling Practice (NCPS Accredited), Professional Diplomas in Clinical Hypnotherapy and Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy, EFT and NLP Practitioner, Hypnofertility Consultant and Hypnobirthing Practitioner. I am also trained with Sands in baby loss and bereavement support. If you're considering therapy but aren't sure whether it's right for you, I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can have an initial conversation and you can ask any questions before deciding whether to take the next step.
