Michele | Counsellor

Counselling Rickmansworth - Hertfordshire

I offer therapy for adults who are carrying a lot internally, even if they appear to be coping on the outside. Many people come feeling overwhelmed, stuck in familiar emotional loops, or unsure how to make sense of what they are experiencing.

My approach is warm, steady, and carefully paced, with a strong focus on emotional safety and trust.

In our work together, we may gently explore the impact of past experiences, relationships, and long held beliefs about yourself. This can help you understand why certain feelings keep returning, why particular situations feel so triggering, or why it is hard to set boundaries or feel secure.

Therapy is not about pushing you to talk before you are ready. It is about creating a relationship where what feels difficult can be held and understood.

People often choose to work with me when they want depth rather than quick fixes, and when they are looking for a therapist who will not rush them. Sessions are available in person and online, and you are welcome to get in touch to see whether working together feels right.

Online therapy

Online sessions are held via Zoom and last 50 minutes.

We agree a regular time, and you can join from a private, quiet space where you feel comfortable and unlikely to be interrupted.

Many clients find online therapy offers the same depth as in person work, with the added ease of not needing to travel.

Specialisations and Expertises

My work is particularly suited to clients who feel emotionally stuck, anxious, or shaped by difficult past relationships.

I work in a trauma aware, relational way, and I pay close attention to pacing and emotional safety, especially where there has been overwhelm or long standing self doubt.

The number of sessions varies depending on what you would like support with. Some people come for a focused piece of work, while others choose to work longer term to explore deeper patterns. We will review regularly and make sure the work is moving at a pace that feels manageable and supportive.

Most common issues I support people with:

Anxiety and overwhelm
Persistent worry, overthinking, panic, and feeling constantly on edge.

Trauma and difficult past experiences
Including emotional abuse, relational trauma, and experiences that still impact your sense of safety or self.

Low self esteem and self doubt
Harsh self criticism, shame, comparison, people pleasing, and feeling not good enough.

Relationship difficulties
Patterns around boundaries, attachment, conflict, or feeling disconnected from others.

Life transitions and emotional stuckness
Changes, loss, uncertainty, or feeling stuck in the same emotional patterns.
