Couples Counselling
Artist: Susanna Bauer
People choose to have relationship counselling by themselves for many reasons; you may be single and wanting to explore your relationship past, or cultivate a great foundation for your relationship future. You may be in a relationship but wish to work through an issue without your partner present, or it may be you have a partner who’s chosen not to join you for counselling.
Whatever your situation, our sessions offer you the chance to freely explore your thoughts, experiences and aspirations. My approach to relationship therapy draws upon psychodynamic and systemic principles, along with teaching you how to check in with your body / nervous system which is an incredibly rich source of information. I work in a collaborative, dynamic way, asking a lot of questions to really get you thinking about yourself and your relationships in fresh, new ways.
Moments of self-reflection are also an important part of the therapy process and I love helping my clients tune into what feels true for them. As we talk together you'll learn more about what you want from your relationships - what's working and what's not - and gain insights into how you can create deeply fulfilling, lasting connections.
Our work together will help you connect to your highest, most-brilliant self, so you can make authentic, skilful, deeply intuitive decisions about your life and relationships.
Sessions are held either face to face in my studio in Hassocks or online via Zoom, weekdays during school hours.
Our first step would be to arrange an Initial Consultation:
INITIAL CONSULTATION
60 MINUTES - £90
A good client / counsellor 'fit' is vital. This first session gives me an opportunity to hear about your situation to make sure I’m the right person to help, and gives you a chance to get a feel for me and how I work. We can then decide whether we'd like to work together.
Once we’ve chosen to go ahead we would book you in for weekly and / or Individual Intensive sessions:
WEEKLY SESSIONS
60 or 120 minute sessions - £90 / £180
60 minutes is a great session length for fitting into a busy schedule, I’ve added an additional ten minutes to the industry standard ‘50 minute hour’ to help you get the most from our time.
My longer 90 minute sessions are a great length to really get into the flow of exploration and do a really deep dive.
For you to gain the most from counselling it is important you are able to commit to attending regular sessions. Appointments are offered weekly, at the same time, on the same day each week and held for you exclusively until such time as we agree on an end date. Your commitment is to attend each week and pay for any sessions you miss. You can find out more about this in my ‘Counselling Contract’.
WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
“Fantastic. Michaela has been life changing in the most positive way. Thank you.”
“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!”
