Michelle has worked in a diverse range of settings with both clients and families, within the North West Probation Service, Merseyside Alcohol Services and the Eating Disorder Service. As part of this work she has worked with individuals and groups with complex disorders and early relational trauma which has helped her develop her skills in assessment formulation and intervention.

In addition to the above she has provided brief occupational psychotherapy in relation to stress management, depression, anxiety, bereavement issues utilising the core assessment as an associate of Axa, Care first, Bupa and Health Care management. Michelle is a qualified supervisor and offers private supervision and has supervised both therapists and counsellors.

Michelle completed her Post graduate Diploma in 1996 and then went on to do an M.A. in Counselling research in 1997, to investigate the need for a Youth Counselling Service in the South Sefton Area. Michelle completed a Post- Graduate Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy (UKCP accredited) in 2011 at The Sherwood Institute (affiliated to Birmingham University), this was a 4 year course. Michelle passionately believes that it is good professional practice for psychotherapists to be committed to their own personal development and that it is a lifelong journey. It was one of her reasons for attending the course; to enhance her psychotherapeutic assessment and formulation skills as well as her own personal development.

Michelle has also had contracts in the past with Merseycare and the DAT (Drug and Alcohol team) to provide specialist counselling to clients subject to a rehabilitation probation order. She has also gained counselling contracts with Merseyside Probation Service supporting their DRR order (Addressing substance related offending and rehabilitating offenders with underlying alcohol and drug problems), IAC’s (Intensive Alternative to Custody) programme. And finally, she was contracted with Resettle, a multidisciplinary team to facilitate a psychotherapy group once a week to clients with complex personality disorders.
