Therapy in north London & Online

All identities welcome. Specialised experience with the queer and trans community and ADHD, Autistic, and AuDHD clients.

Hey, I’m Michele (they/she). Here you’ll find on overview of the issues I work with and more about my experience and background.

Issues I can help with

People come to therapy for a range of reasons. You might be struggling in your relationship(s). Perhaps you're feeling ready to process a trauma. You might be finding a life transition difficult to cope with. Maybe you want to get to know yourself better. You may want to understand why you act or feel the way you do, or perhaps you want to focus on acceptance and moving on from something.

I firmly believe you are the expert in yourself and your life; I am here to support you to make sense of your experiences. Together, we can gently bring your thoughts, feelings and patterns into focus and explore what they might mean for you and where they come from. Sometimes these may be unconscious and other times you might be fully aware of what they are. We’ll go at your own pace and check in regularly.

I work with people on a variety of issues. Some of the areas I have particular experience in include:

monogamous and non-monogamous; friends, family, partners and colleagues

Relationships

sense of self, gender, sexuality, race, culture, heritage, neurodivergence

Identity exploration

emotional neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse, gaslighting

Adult and childhood trauma

It may well be that all these parts and issues feel interlinked for you, and certainly, I adopt an intersectional approach to identity. They are simply split into different pages to allow for a bit more detail about each.

​I also have experience working with anxiety, grief, family dynamics, coping with stress, self-acceptance and burnout.

Qualifications and Experience

I am an Accredited member of the BACP and hold a Level 7 Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of East London. I have done further learning on topics including:

  • Supporting autistic clients

  • Integrating creativity in the therapy room

  • Working somatically with trauma

  • Working with bereavement and complex grief

Before qualifying as a therapist, I worked for over 15 years in the charity and voluntary sector in various roles, with specific experience working with young people, refugees and asylum seekers, and the unhoused. I therefore have a distinct understanding of the challenges and pressures involved in this work. I have also been involved with and supported grassroots community and activist groups with strategy development, understanding power dynamics in their groups, internal conflicts, wellbeing and burnout.
