TRANSFORMATIONAL RELATIONSHIP THERAPY & COACHING

 
 

Michaela Murphy PGDip MBACP

 
 
When we walked into Michaela’s warm and cosy space the first time, I was so broken, had nearly given up and wasn’t sure where I would end up... wasn’t sure if things in our marriage ‘could’ ever be different...after 38 years!!

Now after only a few sessions, things have changed. I have hope. And the change is fundamental and MASSIVE.

TRANSPARENCY INTEGRITY CLARITY

These are my personal values and are also at the heart of my work as a Relationship Therapist for couples and individuals and as a 1:1 Transformational Coach.

I’ve helped hundreds of clients get to know themselves more fully and understand the root causes of their challenges and behaviours. My cabin offers us a peaceful, welcoming environment where open-hearted conversations and explorations can take place in a grounded, respectful way.

The best work happens with the most committed clients - the deepest work is where the gold is - I don’t do sticking plasters.

We can work together in two ways:

1) TRANSFORMATIONAL RELATIONSHIP THERAPY

For the past 13 years my training, and therapy practice has been 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 1:1. There is an art to working in this way and it’s a dynamic I love.

No-one really teaches us how to do relationships well. If we’re lucky our parents / caregivers model a healthy relationship which gives us a solid blue-print. For many this is not the case and we bring those unhelpful behaviours and beliefs into our adult relationships. Often without realising it we end up triggering and being triggered by, our partner. Rinse and repeat.

As an experienced, Sussex-based, BACP registered counsellor, I’m here to help you figure out how to create the type of relationship you’d love, and to gently guide you when the work is about navigating the ending of your relationship. I offer a road map for separating in a kind, respectful and mindful way, especially when children are involved.

Through our sessions you’ll gain a deep level of clarity, learn to understand yourself and your relationships more fully, identify unskilful patterns and learn how to change them. You’ll get really clear on what your relationship needs to nourish it. All this exploration enables you to make informed decisions about your relationship future.

We also create a bespoke set of life-long tools to use long after our time together comes to an end.

2) 1:1 TRANSFORMATIONAL COACHING

I have created my Clarity Coaching sessions to work with individuals who have a specific issue they’d like to work on (not necessarily with a relationship focus, although it certainly could be). This work tends towards short term (1 to 6 sessions), as we identify a clear area to work on and we explore that at depth.

I’ve worked with every type of client from artists to pilots, singers to lawyers and I’ve helped my coaching clients to:

— shift creative blocks

— figure out next career steps

— get super clear about a relationship

— challenge their low self-esteem

— transform negative self-beliefs

— tend to childhood wounds

Through open-hearted conversations, guided explorations, inner-child work and somatic-awareness (noticing your body’s responses) we get to work deeply with your unconscious blocks and beliefs. By you bringing specific areas to focus on, we can work swiftly and powerfully.

These methods have changed my life, and the lives of my clients. They feel very special!

ARE WE A GOOD FIT?

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

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:

MY INTENTIONS 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 here

…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

…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 tools?

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

Are you ready to show up for yourself and be guided to explore your internal world deeply?

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

Are you ready to prioritise our work together and commit to it in your schedule?

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

 
 
Thank you greatly Michaela for our sessions we had together, I will forever treasure the clarity and the self belief from our discussions as a result, thank you! You have great patience, kindness and understanding, I will always appreciate the help you have given me.

Words simply can’t express how absolutely grateful I am for all of my sessions with you.
What an amazing gift of experiencing that process. Thank you.

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.
 
 

When I first came with my husband I felt sure we would divorce, now I realise that was such an unfounded fear. Counselling has definitely improved our relationship as a couple as well as individuals.
 
 

I just wanted to send you a massive THANK YOU for all your help and support over the past 10 sessions. You have really helped me through a difficult time. I felt so comfortable chatting to you, it was very helpful to me from start to finish.
