Hello, my name is Michelle and I am a qualified relationship therapist. I appreciate that it can take great courage to reach out for help with your relationship, and I strive to create a warm, safe environment where you can both feel comfortable enough to open up. I am not there to take sides or pass judgement; instead, I am here to listen to your combined experiences and help you improve the communication between you. Although I qualified as a psychodynamic therapist, I work in an eclectic and creative way when providing couple counselling. This means I use a variety of different therapeutic approaches, including person-centred and CBT-informed techniques, to suit your unique situation and individual needs. My goal is to help you find a more positive way forward that feels authentic to your partnership. At the beginning of our first session, I will ask you what you hope to achieve. Whether you are hoping to make your relationship work better than it currently is, or you would like help to separate more amicably, we will work together to find clarity. It is perfectly okay if you feel unsure or if you and your partner have different answers at the start of our journey. As an accredited member of the MBACP and UKRCP, I adhere to strict ethical guidelines and continuous professional development. This ensures that the service I provide to you is grounded in the highest professional standards, allowing you to focus on your journey towards a more connected, respectful, and fulfilling relationship.

This broad exposure has given me a deep understanding of many different types of relationship dynamics. Alongside my work with couples, I also specialise in trauma, neurodiversity, adoption, and family work. My background includes significant experience within the court system regarding divorce matters, as well as working as an adoption counsellor with Barnardo’s. I am also an accredited Play Therapist and a qualified supervisor for other therapists. These varied roles have equipped me with the skills to handle complex family issues and sensitive interpersonal challenges with compassion and expertise. Prior to my career in counselling, I spent many years in social work and youth work. I served as a residential social worker for six years and a Church of England Youth Worker for 18 years. These experiences, combined with my time as a foster parent, have shaped my down-to-earth approach and my ability to connect with individuals from all walks of life. ## How I Can Help I will walk the relationship therapy journey with you both to help you develop better ways of connecting in your relationship. I will provide a safe, confidential space where you will both feel heard and respected during your sessions. We will explore the dynamics between you, while allowing you the time and space to individually express yourselves and feel validated. I will encourage you to be honest with yourselves and each other in order to help move the relationship forward. I will facilitate an environment where you can both properly listen, ensuring you are both patient and tolerant of each other’s thoughts and feelings. ## Specialisations Neurodiversity in Relationships ## Therapy Approaches Trauma Informed Couples Therapy Cognitive Behavioural Couples Therapy (CBT for Relationships) Psychodynamic Couples Therapy Psychodynamic Therapy (Couples) General Couples Counselling ## Problems I Help With Differences in values or life goals Parenting, finances, and family pressures Repeating unhealthy relationship patterns Separation and divorce support Conflict and frequent arguments Life transitions and big changes Trust issues and infidelity Jealousy and insecurity Feeling distant, disconnected, or stuck Deciding whether to stay together or separate Navigating long distance relationships Communication problems and not feeling heard ## Qualifications - PGDip in Counselling ## Professional Memberships - BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) View Michelle's Upcoming Availability 7 slots Next available: Thursday 10th September · 09:00 ## View Michelle's Upcoming Availability Next available: Thursday 10th September · 09:00 · next 2 weeks Step 1 — Choose how you would like to meet Required Face-to-Face In-person at Guildford Online Secure video session Times below update based on your choice.
