TRANSFORMATIONAL RELATIONSHIP THERAPY

Welcome!

I’m Michaela, a qualified, BACP registered counsellor, based in Sussex, with a 13-year specialism in Relationship Therapy.

Over the years I’ve worked with hundreds of couples and individuals, and I love to work with people who want to deeply understand themselves and their relationship dynamics; those who crave more meaningful, open-hearted conversations but are perhaps anxious to have them, or don’t know how.

I can support you whether the work is helping you create what you’d love for your relationship or helping you navigate the ending your relationship in a kind, respectful and mindful way, especially when children are involved.

I invite clients to deep-dive with our explorations - the deepest work is where the gold is - you won’t find any sticking plasters here!

Together, we’ll explore what’s not working, what is, and why, and from there we are better able to understand what is needed to transform your current situation.

I want you to leave our work with a clear understanding of yourself, your relationship, and with a bespoke set of tools that really work, enabling you to make informed decisions about your relationship’s future.

Unlike more generalist therapists who may offer couple / relationship work as an add-on to their training, relationship therapy makes up 100% of my caseload so all my work is dedicated to understanding and transforming relationships. This singular focus allows me to confidently balance working with two people in the room, or hold the other in mind when working 1-2-1. There is an art to working in this way and it’s a dynamic I love.

Whether you work with me or someone else, make sure your chosen therapist has a professional qualification in relationship therapy.

WORKING TOGETHER

Are we a ‘good fit?’

A good client / therapist ‘fit’ is vital to get right for all parties and I have a clear understanding of the mindset clients need to have for us to do the most transformational work.

Whether you’re looking to attend as a couple, or on your own, I’ve outlined some key factors that would indicate whether we’d work well together; I invite you to notice your responses to each invitation:

HERE’S WHAT I’D LOVE FOR YOU…

…to get to know yourself deeply, and feel truly seen and heard

…to make sense of your current situation and what has lead you there

…to have the courage to speak your truth, be clear about your needs and what you are able to offer others

…to understand how to lovingly set and respect boundaries

…to experience deep, meaningful, heartfelt conversations

…to identify what you want to let go of, and what you’d love to create instead

…to have all the information you need to make informed choices about your future

…to leave our work together feeling clear-eyed, confident and connected to your most authentic self, with tools that work

So, ARE YOU READY TO DO THE WORK?

Are you open to considering fresh perspectives and discovering new relationship tools?

Are you prepared to take responsibility for the part you play in co-creating your relationship dynamics?

Does the idea of experiencing open-hearted communication feel exciting, even if a little daunting?

Are you aware that actioning change is a necessity in transforming your current situation?

Can you respect and uphold the clear boundaries I set at the start of our work? (Don’t skip - click the link!)
