COUNSELLING & PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPY

Her combination of intuitive sensing, therapeutic insight and somatic awareness provide a space of deep holistic holding and practical support for transforming difficulties and personal evolution. Her sessions are nourishing and supportive, whether you are interested in Psychotherapy & Counselling, Soul Reading or Coaching.

Originally trained in Gestalt and somatic psychotherapy at Spectrum in London, she has been working in private practice as a humanistic psychotherapist since 2007 and has experience working with clients across a wide range of issues, whilst specialising in working with people who suffer with anxiety. Alongside, Miche has also worked as an intuitive practitioner for a decade or more. She began with reading subtle energies and spirit guides through cards over 20 years ago and followed this with training in Theta Healing, Soul Reading and Shamanic methods.

She holds a breadth of skills, tools and perspectives that span the fields of psychology, emotional awareness, neuroscience, the energy body, creativity, spirit and soul and she works with each individual client to help address whatever their point of need is in the highest way possible for them.

She also supervises healers and holistic professionals who wish to develop psychological rigour and therapeutic professionalism in their practice.

As well as a therapist and intuitive guide, she is an artist, a mother, and a forest school leader, and enjoys walking and crafting and creating. Her abstract paintings, which are inspired by nature and the elements, are currently for sale in the Anderida Practice.

Miche is a registered and accredited therapist with experience across a range of issues including anxiety, bereavement, loss, sexuality, anger management, parenthood, chronic illness, addiction, abuse, trauma, relationship issues, self-esteem, emotional regulation, menopause and many more.

You may not be able to pin point the source of your discomfort but taking the space and time to explore your feelings and reflect in a supportive environment increases wellbeing, improves self-awareness and enables a clearer understanding of habitual patterns.

Habitual patterns, often developed in childhood, behaviours that were resourceful in keeping us safe and connected, may no longer serve us well. Psychotherapy offers time to reflect and gain better understanding of yourself which can lead to new pathways for a more fulfilling life.

My professional background:

I originally trained as a nurse and have worked abroad, on the community, in care for the elderly and, latterly, in a school. I then retrained in Psychotherapy (an MSc in Psychotherapy) at the Metanoia institute, London

I now work with individuals and with couples on issues such as anxiety, bereavement and loss, depression, relationship and life crises, communication difficulties, parenting issues, low self-esteem and issues relating to maternal mental health in the perinatal period. I also run groups for those who have experienced bereavement and loss.

Fundamental to my work is a respectful, safe and confidential space; I work both face to face and on-line.

My training is in Relational Transactional Analysis (Metanoia, London) and in couples counselling and I am a member of UKCP, registered with the IOC and fully insured.

£55 for a 60 min session for individuals. I have some low cost places available, please enquire.

£70 - 85 for couples sessions.

Groups – please contact me.

My approach is rooted in Humanistic and integrative principles. Tailoring my methods to your unique needs, I draw from a rich tapestry of modalities. Trained in trauma-informed care, I address the entirety of your being—emotionally, physically, and spiritually—rejecting the notion of separation between these facets.

Affiliated with professional bodies such as BACP and NICP. I adhere to the highest standards of ethical practice. Additionally, my advanced certification in Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) adds a dynamic layer to my therapeutic toolkit. With a special focus on Gestalt and Internal Family Systems, I am passionate about fostering profound transformations.

Beyond traditional talk therapy, I recognize the importance of reconnecting with the wisdom of the body in a culture often dominated by overthinking. We live in a society constantly in motion, often overlooking the profound value of simply being. Holistic therapy is increasingly crucial in addressing this imbalance.

In my role, I am not a mere observer; I am your highly personable companion on this transformative journey. I create a safe, non-judgmental space, inviting you to explore the depths of your true self.

Over the past 15 years, I've been dedicated to achieving peace of mind in my own life, and now, I'm committed to helping you find the same.

By providing a non-judgmental presence, I aim to offer the transformative gift of being truly seen and heard—a secure attachment that may have been missed in early years. embark on the path toward a more balanced and authentic life.

Hazel draws from a range of psychological therapies including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Compassion-Focused approaches and Eco-Psychological practices, which harness the scientifically evidenced healing effects of our connection with nature to restore and enhance our wellbeing. Hazel can also provide parental consultation and family work.

Recognising that periods of personal or family transition, upheaval, stress and recovery can often transform into phases of rich personal growth and breakthrough, Hazel’s approach aims to help people connect with the essence of who they (or their child) are, as well as providing effective help to overcome difficulties. Her in-depth approach to assessment gets to the heart of the matter to reach a shared understanding (called a “formulation”) of what has led to any patterns of difficulty, which then informs personally-tailored and evidence- based psychological intervention and therapy.

Hazel can help with a wide range of psychological difficulties in adults, children and adolescents. She has areas of specialist interest in:

•   Psychological trauma (including “complex” and childhood trauma);

•   Coping with adverse life events and experiences;

•   Perimenopause and menopause;

•   Stress, burnout and moral injury;

•   Depression, low mood, low self-esteem and confidence;

•   Anxiety including generalised anxiety, social anxiety, health anxiety and phobias.

As well as being registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC), Hazel is an Associate Fellow and full member of the British Psychological Society and Division of Clinical Psychology.
