About Michelle

Counselling for all ages

Hello, I'm Michelle — an Integrative Counsellor and Creative Arts Therapist based in Ely, Cambridgeshire. I work with a wide age range, from 4 years old to the golden years.

Counselling is a space for you to talk about and explore how you are experiencing life, and identify what may be stopping you from living as you'd like to.

My approach is Integrative, using Creative Arts Therapy alongside Humanistic and CBT creative tools. Working with the creative arts is a gentle process that helps give a voice to feelings that may be difficult to find words for.
