Why InformEmotion?

Michelle offers Relationship Therapy, drawing on Gottman Method principles, including the Gottman Relationship Check-Up. She supports couples to disarm conflict, strengthen communication, and increase intimacy, respect, and empathy through a deeper sense of mutual understanding.

In her individual work, Michelle uses a client-centered, integrative approach, exploring personal meaning and facilitating behavioural change through evidence-based psychotherapeutic interventions. She utilises EMDR to process traumatic memories and related symptoms, alongside tools that support emotional regulation, self-soothing, interpersonal effectiveness, and personal insight.

Michelle aims to empower clients through therapy that integrates personal narrative work and creative expression, fostering deeper self-understanding and a stronger sense of connection to self and others.

She works with adults and adolescents, and also offers perinatal mental-health counselling, including support for birth trauma. Her therapeutic approach is informed by training in CBT, DBT, ACT, Narrative Therapy, EMDR, Mindfulness, Trauma-Informed Care, and is influenced by Internal Family Systems (IFS) foundations for internal narrative and parts-based work.

For younger clients, Michelle incorporates creative interventions (such as art therapy) alongside skills-based education, supporting clients to practice and integrate learning between sessions.
