Welcome
My name is Michele
I’m a BACP registered counsellor based in Earls Colne, near Halstead and Colchester, working in line with recognised professional and ethical standards. I provide a safe, supportive space to explore thoughts and feelings, helping to improve emotional wellbeing. I specialise in counselling for children and teenagers, and also hold an additional qualification in adult counselling, enabling me to offer tailored support for all ages. Alongside my private practice, I am also a therapist at Castle Counselling Service
Services
I provide counselling and therapy for children (aged 5+), teenagers, and adults, as well as support to strengthen the parent–child relationship. Sessions can be short-term or open-ended, depending on your needs.
Support is available online via Zoom, offering flexibility and comfort from home. If you prefer face-to-face sessions, I also work from my private practice room at Castle Counselling in Earls Colne, Essex—a calm, welcoming, and easily accessible space.
I also offer parent support sessions, designed to provide guidance, strategies, and emotional support for those navigating the challenges of raising a child or teenager. These sessions are not therapy but focus on helping you feel more confident in supporting your family’s wellbeing.
In addition, I collaborate with schools and organisations, offering tailored counselling support and guidance. Please get in touch to discuss how I can help.
CHILD THERAPY
A confidential and gentle space where children can explore their feelings and behaviour through play, art, and creative activities—helping them understand themselves and build healthy coping skills.
​
TEEN THERAPY
A safe, confidential space for teenagers to explore feelings around anxiety, low mood, grief, identity, or relationship difficulties. Therapy can help them feel more supported, build confidence, and develop healthy ways to cope.
​
PARENT-CHILD THERAPY
A confidential, supportive space for parents and children and teens to strengthen their relationship, improve communication, and navigate emotional or behavioural difficulties together.
​
ADULT THERAPY
A confidential, compassionate space to explore life’s difficulties—such as stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship issues, or loss—and find new ways to cope and grow.
​
WHAT I CAN HELP WITH
I know how heavy life feels. Everyone faces different struggles—things like anxiety, stress, or challenges at home, work and school—and these affect each person differently. That’s why I use a flexible approach, working in a way that fits you or your child.
