Online Person-Centred Therapy — Healing Happens When You Are Heard.
You are not a problem to be fixed. I offer a space where you can be met with genuineness, empathy, and unconditional acceptance—just as you are.
Your experience comes first.
Distress doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It is often the result of blocking who we are to fit into the world around us—whether that’s family expectations, cultural pressures, or life’s demands.
My work is grounded in the belief that you are inherently oriented toward growth. I don’t believe in "diagnosing" you or steering your life. Instead, I offer a relationship where you are safe to explore your own truth, at your own pace.
A therapeutic relationship that honors you
Supported Growth
Growth isn't something I "do" to you. It happens naturally when the environment is right. My role is to provide the conditions—empathy and safety—where your natural potential can unfold.
Nothing to "Fix"
I reject the idea that you are broken. Our sessions are not about correcting your behavior, but about understanding your world. I am here to witness your experience, not to judge it.
Culture & Context
We are shaped by our relationships, our culture, and our environment. I honor the complexity of your identity—whether that involves collectivist values, family duty, or minority stress.
Hi, I'm Michelle.
I am a Trainee Person-Centred Counsellor (MSc) and a student member of the BACP.
My practice is built on a simple but challenging premise: the relationship is the therapy. I don't hide behind a professional mask. I bring my real human self to our sessions because I believe that honest, congruent connection is what heals.
With experience in Sri Lanka and the UK, I have a deep respect for how culture shapes us. I understand that for many, "independence" isn't the only goal, and that our commitments to family and community are a vital part of who we are.
