Michelle believes counselling is an opportunity to safely explore areas of concern, seek insight into specific challenges and their impacts, and where practical guidance and effective strategies for specific concerns are offered to create real, long-lasting change. Each session involves creating a space for awareness that change is possible, where new ways of being and doing can be found focusing on health and wellbeing.
