TESTIMONIALS

Michaela has been wonderful with us both individually and as a married couple who knew we needed help with our relationship. She took us through a process that allowed us to address the issues and identify a way forward. As a result, we've both changed how we feel about each other and our future relationship. Plus, we now have the tools to identify issues and deal with them before they take us down a negative path.
Thanks to Michaela we are fully committed to building our future together and continuing our journey as a couple and a family.
THERAPY CLIENT
“This session was nothing short of exceptional. I was guided into deep emotional territory that felt uncomfortable yet profoundly healing. It wasn’t what I expected, but the trust I had in Michaela allowed me to explore my feelings freely.
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.”
COACHING CLIENT
“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, they have changed. I have hope. And the change is fundamental and MASSIVE.
I really felt Michaela's calm, professional guidance has allowed me to be heard without judgement - for the first time really - to allow myself to be authentic and true and for my husband to hear and respond in a way I have longed for almost all my married life.
Michaela is a lovely person with a beautiful smile - she is someone I would have chosen to be a friend - except she's years younger than me and is a counsellor - but maybe when it's the right 'fit' that's what you should feel like.
I completely trust her judgement, her kindness, her experience. And it has taken years to find her...... So I would highly recommend her to anyone or any couple who feel - like I did - that we were probably too late and beyond help.
My only sadness is that I now don't really 'need' to see her because she has done such an incredible job!
Thank you for everything Michaela.”

“Michaela’s positive and grounded presence put me at ease. I came into the session feeling overwhelmed and anxious, but as we talked my worries dissipated.
Michaela is an expert in her field, and she guided and supported me to clarify what truly mattered and what felt right.
A couple of weeks post-session, I’m happy to share that I’ve since been accepted onto a course, and invited to interview for an exciting new role. I can’t recommend these sessions highly enough.”

"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."

“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.”
THERAPY CLIENT
My wife and I always thought we were best placed to sort out our disagreements and issues. And we had successfully worked through some difficult patches. But we had hit a bit of a brick wall. Under Michaela's patient questioning and guidance we discovered new and constructive ways of communicating during difficult times, of better understanding our differences and of appreciating the other person's perspective. We began to enjoy the shared project of "doing better", appreciating the privilege we shared in our long and mostly very happy relationship. Michaela is an insightful, thoughtful and pleasant person. We are very glad to have met her.
THERAPY CLIENT
"I had one session with Michaela and BOOM my ideas were drawn out of me in the most chilled and natural way.
Michaela safely held space for me to outpour my thoughts / words / feelings in a guided session. I knew the answers were in me and once I relaxed into the session I really got in to a flow and it became much clearer for me. I have gone from feeling woolly to having clarity in my creative business.
It’s blown me away how much progress I made in a single session and I am so happy I signed up. I would highly recommend a session with Michaela and let her support you like she did me.”
COACHING CLIENT
“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!”
“Thank you for agreeing to assist my wife and I (especially me), during a very difficult time for my wife and I.
I spent every week over the past six months for an hour talking to you. Every minute of that hour was invaluable to me. Whether it was me discussing things with you or you calmly discussing things with me I can only say that the whole six months assisted me personally to get my mind together and my feet back on the ground. You also assisted/helped my wife to understand the problems I had caused to my family - for which I took full ownership and my remorse was total. In that regard we both appreciate fully how you were able to discuss with both of us or each of us individually in a manner which shows your professionalism is of the highest calibre.
My chats and discussions with you was time very well spent and I can honestly say that you were instrumental in putting me on the path to recovery for both myself personally and also my relationship with my wife.
I am aware that the path still has some way to go and you can rest assured Michaela that I will continue down that path and continue to be the best person I can be.
Thank you so much for helping me. You have been amazing.
I would recommend any person contemplating counselling to go ahead take the plunge make the call to a counsellor and like me I am sure you will receive the help to take you forward.”
"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.”
"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."
"Fantastic. Michaela has been life changing in the most positive way. Thank you."
"Thank you so much for your kind support over the last year. Now that spring has come I'm looking forward to the months ahead and a new beginning."
“Michaela has really been helpful and really helped me get through my marriage break up. She often gave me different ways to look at things and things for me to think about and it really made a difference to how I felt and how quickly I moved on.”
"You were fantastic, our sessions have been of huge benefit to our relationship. Thank you."
"Before my session I had always been a bit sceptical of counselling but Michaela soon made me realise that it was going to be a very worthwhile process. She opened my mind to things I would never have thought had a bearing on my relationship issues with my girlfriend. She helped me to articulate things better to my girlfriend. 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!
So thankful for all your work with us."
"My husband and I started sessions with Michaela because we had stopped communicating and basically didn't like each other very much, but wanted things to be better. Right from the start our sessions with Michaela made both of us feel like we could talk openly and without judgement - she made us really think about what was going on and how we wanted things to be in the future. It's never easy changing the habits of a lifetime, but we both felt that our sessions with Michaela put our relationship No.1 on the list, at least for an hour a week. Michaela has given us some tools going forward and we're a much happier family now."
"My two daughters and I decided that we needed help to restore what had been a very close relationship but, for whatever reason, had become fraught and full of tensions. We had a variety of sessions with Michaela – all three of us together, in pairs, individually – and somehow we all gained an understanding that had been missing. Michaela always stressed that our individual sessions were confidential and yet, without ever divulging what had been said, she magically managed to bring about an understanding as though it had been spoken. Her skill and perception are second to none."
"When we started seeing Michaela, I was worried that our family situation had broken down irretrievably. I wasn't sure anyone could help us, but from the outset, Michaela was supportive, positive and understanding. Within weeks our relationships have improved immeasurably and we're already a much happier family unit. I'm so glad we found Michaela; without her, I worry our sad situation would have just kept rumbling along."
