I work with people who are seeking support around trauma, grief, burn-out, neurodiversity, spirituality and creative expression. My practice is based on the values of kindness, safety, integrity, co-creation and holism. I believe that when we feel safe and held in relationship we can start to develop and listen to our felt-sense and intuition to source meaning, growth and fulfilment in our lives.

I'm Michelle, and I'm passionate about helping those who want to help themselves. I'm a Registered Member of the BACP and NCPS, and my homely therapy room is based in Huddersfield town centre. I also offer video counselling depending on your preference. I'm an Integrative counsellor, using a range of techniques from various talking therapies, tailored to your individual needs. Together, we will explore your thoughts and feelings to find the root cause of any issues, and begin the healing process. I operate my practice by viewing you as a person - not a 'patient', and pride myself on being down-to-earth, open-minded and relatable.

I offer a FREE 30 minute phone consultation so that you can find out how counselling feels. It can be difficult to know where to begin but sometimes you just know you would like to feel less anxious, less down. Things can get in your way and stop you living life the way you would like to. Whether it's a troubling relationship, working through loss and bereavement or a general feeling of anxiety and stress, I can help you to work through these things so that life can maybe begin to feel a little easier.

I offer woman-centred, personalised and sensitive support for women who have or are experiencing infertility, miscarriage, a difficult pregnancy, late term loss, a traumatic birth or traumatic postnatal period. The deep emotional wound from these experiences can lead to a downward spiral that impairs your thinking, ability to feel truly happy and live at peace in the moment. But this is not permanent and I can work with you to recover from anxiety, low mood and depression, trauma symptoms, feeling stuck, overwhelm, emotional outbursts or imbalances and relationship struggles with your yourself, partner, child or family.

Hello - welcome to my profile. If you are looking for a counsellor, I believe there is a need in your life that is affecting you and you are wondering whether counselling will help? This may be related to a relationship, job or health issue or it may relate to feelings of anxiety, anger, depression or loss that can be overwhelming at times. How can counselling help? This varies from person to person: some people benefit from short-term counselling, while for others, it is a more long-term process. Increasing in self-awareness, realising why we feel or react the way that we do, can empower us and can lead to lasting change.

At this time of difficulty - and maybe breakthrough - for you I can walk with you as your kind and wise ally. We can acknowledge what's hard and identify the changes you want to put into place. I'm a coach as well as a counsellor. You'll find that, in addition to the usual therapuetic services I can also offer you at least two special services: 1. creative arts therapy 2. flexible counselling if you're someone who works far away (say as cabin crew) and can't connect for regular slots. We can work by letter and email, as well as Zoom, if you wish. The point is to ensure you get the KIND of support you need, and WHEN you need it.

I am a trauma-informed, integrative therapist with NHS experience. Being trauma-informed means that I use a specific approach to therapy that recognizes and emphasizes understanding how the traumatic experience impacts a person’s mental well-being. This type of therapy is rooted in understanding the connection between the trauma experience and the person’s emotional and behavioural responses. Being integrative means that I can work at your pace with a wide variety of skills tailored to suit you. I am aware that therapy is not a “one size fits all” and I pride myself in working with you to reconnect you with your values in life

Are you experiencing relationship problems, inner conflicts or life stresses? It can help to find someone who is empathic and skilled who offers a safe space in which to share these feelings and dilemmas. Sometimes the issues may have been a pressure in life for months or years, and become part of your personality. It is a relief to discover that there is a solution to be found in therapy. I am especially interested in helping clients who have experienced troubled, sometimes abusive, childhoods and early loss of significant attachment figures. Often later life experience brings back earlier trauma and distress.

We can all have times in our lives when we find things tough, we can feel overwhelmed and struggle to cope or we may feel dissatisfied with our lives. This is how counselling can help. I offer a safe space where you can talk openly and privately about your problems, feelings and behaviours. We can build a therapeutic relationship based on trust and respect. It is a non judgmental space for you to speak about issues you face, that you may not feel comfortable to discuss with friends or family.

Spirituality Counsellors
What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?
Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.
What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?
There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviours. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.
Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?
Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.
How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?
Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
