Individual Therapy

Attending alone

People choose to attend therapy alone for many reasons.

You may be caught in a battle between head and heart, questioning whether your current relationship is right for you.

You may be starting to see a pattern of ‘failed’ or unsatisfactory relationships and want your next relationship to feel more intentional.

Or perhaps you have lived your life in a way that has put pleasing others first.

Our work together will be about discovering what you would love for yourself.

Whatever has brought you here, we’ll get curious about what’s at the heart of your concerns and bring our attention to the things you may already know deep down.

Allowing your truth to rise to the surface brings more information into view and enables you to make informed choices about what happens next.

Working together

What this looks like in the room.

Sometimes we’ll trace what is playing out now, back to its origins: a childhood survival strategy still operating decades later, an old story that no longer fits you, or a pattern that keeps repeating.

Alongside talking therapy, we can choose from different tools and exercises—guided visualisation, creative imagining and tracking body sensations.

We will get underneath well-worn stories and access information that has been just out of view.

When we’re considering the potential for change, I love to co-create tailored ‘experiments’. Together we fine-tune the parameters until we have a viable plan, then review and refine as we go. It’s an iterative process.

TESTIMONIALS

  • Michaela has been wonderful throughout our sessions. When I first spoke to her I was trying to make sense of some really challenging times. The way Michaela put our sessions together was so productive, focused and got to the root causes of everything we spoke about which helped me immensely to gain clarity and perspective. I always came away from every session with strategies to help which I was so valuable to me in everyday life. I cannot thank her enough for helping my mental wellness grow so much in such a short space of time. Thank you for everything!

    Client Testimonial

  • It is fair to say that counselling sessions with Michaela were the missing link between me and my girlfriend becoming an understanding and empathetic couple again. I am a much happier person and my relationship is now the strongest it’s been in over a year.

  • I felt seen and safe, and that’s what enabled me to experience such a deep emotional release. Michaela’s language was so thoughtful and precise, creating a space where I could connect with my inner self in a way I hadn’t before. It was a transformative experience.

    Client Testimonial

  • I felt completely safe and held by Michaela throughout the session. Her energy was calm, professional, and deeply intuitive, which helped my nervous system relax and allowed me to explore emotions I had never touched before. She guided me to profound realisations about my relationship with my parents, helping me see past hurts with new compassion and understanding. Michaela’s guidance felt slow and deliberate, giving me all the space I needed to process and heal. It was a deeply magical and transformative experience and truly one of the most profound healings I’ve ever experienced.
