Michele - Queer Counsellor and Psychotherapist (Online + North London)
I am an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist providing time limited and open ended counselling to individuals (18+) online and in-person in north London. I also offer group therapy for queer, trans and non binary individuals that provides a space to talk about and reflect on what’s going on for you, to explore how you relate to yourself and others, increase self awareness and gain insight from peers.
Using an affirming, intersectional, collaborative and non-judgemental approach, I will support you to explore and make sense of your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and their impact. I will help you figure out how to move forward in a way that feels right for you, and leave you with the confidence and ability to make use of inner resources and external tools when therapy ends.
I work with people on a variety of issues and welcome enquiries from everyone. Some of the areas I have particular experience with include:
– relationships (monogamous and non-monogamous; friends, family, partners and colleagues)
– identity exploration (gender, sexuality, race, culture, heritage, neurodivergence, sense of self)
– adult and childhood trauma (emotional neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse, gaslighting)
– life transitions (loss, career change, health diagnoses)
I also have experience working with anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, family dynamics, coping with stress and self-acceptance and burnout.
I welcome enquiries from everyone.and have specific experience working with the queer and trans community and ADHD, Autistic, and AuDHD folks.
My approach considers the impact of systemic oppression on emotional, physical and mental wellbeing. I trust and value your lived experiences and the understanding you make of it and I will always work in a consent-led, non-pathologising, identity affirming and trauma informed way.
An initial session will be £50 for 30-40 minutes. Ongoing sessions last 50 minutes and are priced on a self-selecting sliding scale, from £70 – £80, with some lower cost and fortnightly spots, subject to availability.
