Counselling Testimonials & Client Experiences

Choosing to begin counselling can feel like a significant step, and it is understandable that you may want to know a little about other people’s experiences before deciding whether therapy is right for you.

Words from Those I’ve Had the Privilege of Supporting

I don’t ask clients to leave reviews or testimonials. I believe that feedback about therapeutic work should always be freely offered, without expectation, pressure or obligation.

Occasionally, a client chooses to share feedback about their experience. Where this happens, I may ask whether they would be comfortable with me sharing their words anonymously on my website or social media. There is no expectation that they will agree, and their decision has no impact whatsoever on the counselling they receive.

The testimonials below have therefore been shared with consent and are presented anonymously to respect the privacy and confidentiality of those who have worked with me.

Every person’s experience of counselling is different, and a testimonial cannot tell you what your own therapeutic journey will look like. I hope, however, that these words offer a genuine insight into the importance I place on creating a safe, respectful and compassionate space where people can explore what has brought them to counselling at their own pace.

    I highly recommend Michelle's services. I have worked with Michelle during different periods in my life. She is a very skilled therapist. Her professionalism is paired with warmth and empathy. She also has an amazing ability to take human complexity and interpret in a relatable & simplistic way.

    “Dear Michelle

    Just a little note to say thank you so much for all your care, empathy and support over the past 2 years.

    Not only have you been a wonderful counsellor to me, you have also been an amazing role model for my own practice with clients.

    You have really impacted my life for the better and I’m sure I’m one of many grateful clients.

    Keep up the truly invaluable work you do.”

Google Reviews

I also have reviews shared by people who have chosen to leave feedback through Google.

As with the testimonials on this page, I do not ask clients to leave reviews or request that they provide feedback. If someone chooses to leave a review, it is entirely their own decision and there is no expectation or obligation to do so.

I’m grateful to those who have taken the time to share their experience. Their words may help someone who is considering counselling to gain a little more insight into what it may be like to work with me.

    I attended one of Michelle's workshops on how to set up a private practice. It was very informative, I gained knowledge, all my questions was answered and I now feel more confident and ready to start up my own practice. Michelle shared her own experiences which was very helpful

    Workshop

    I've recently attended a workshop with Michelle on starting up in private practice. I've experienced Michelle as a trainer before and always found her exceptional, so was keen to experience this workshop. As previously, Michelle was very open and honest with her own experience as well as being knowledgeable in the field of counselling. Michelle was keen to adapt to individual expectations too, taking any questions to ensure all participants got their needs met.
    I would highly recommend Michelle and will be looking out for further workshops in the future.
