Testimonials for Michelle
‘I would like to thank Michelle for all her help and support these past months, I’ve really appreciated it and noticed a big difference in my mindset. Not only do I feel a lot happier in myself and more in control of my emotions, but a number of people around me have commented on how I have been lately too – which has only added to the positive experience.
From the very beginning Michelle made me feel at ease and in a safe space. She is warm and caring and her counselling has given me hope that I can move on from a turbulent time in my life. I can now look to the future with the confidence that she has helped me to help myself. I would gladly, and wholeheartedly, recommend her to anyone who is looking for a counsellor to help them.’
