TRANSFORMATIONAL RELATIONSHIP THERAPY & 1:1 COACHING
Most people who find their way to me have been trying to fix things on their own for a long time.
We can work together in two ways — please select:
-
For couples or individuals who know something needs to change — whether that means rebuilding, transforming, or sometimes bringing a relationship to a considered and respectful end.
Not all therapists are trained to work with relationship dynamics. I have a sixteen-year specialism in relationship therapy which enables me to skilfully hold two people, two life-stories, and the relationship between, all at once.
-
For individuals wanting to work on a specific question or block. This work is short-term (sometimes just one or two sessions) but we dive deep. You might choose to focus on a career question, a life decision, a new pathway, a psychological block.
You already have the answers inside you, it’s my job to help you discover them.
Whether we’re in therapy mode or coaching mode, as we work together we’re tracking patterns, making connections, and paying attention to what your nervous system is telling you — this is just as important as your words.
My approach is warm and collaborative, trauma-aware and therapeutically boundaried — this balance enables the work to be both powerful and contained.

“We have worked with couples therapists before, and the comparison was night and day. Michaela made us feel very comfortable, and she was able to really get us to understand each others point of view. She helped us to move forward and gave us hope. I couldn’t speak more highly of her as a professional!”
ARE WE A GOOD FIT?
The relationship between client and therapist matters enormously. I want you to have a sense not only of my professional experience, but of how it might feel for us to work together, the quality of space I hold for clients.
Our initial consultation gives us both the opportunity to notice how it feels to work together and whether we feel there is a a good fit.
The very best work happens when people are curious about themselves and others, open to exploring new perspectives, and willing to take an active part in the process. One aspect of my work that I love is helping clients see where they have agency over their lives, at times when they may feel powerless.
I work within clear professional boundaries which allow the work to feel safe, focused and well held. You can read more about these in How I Work and The Therapeutic Contract.
LOCATION
My garden cabin in Hassocks, West Sussex offers a peaceful, private space for us to work.
If you prefer we can work together online, via Zoom. I'm happy to mix and match online sessions with face to face — ideal for clients who travel or live further afield.
