Welcome, and thank you for visiting my website. My name is Michelle Lilley and I am a counsellor providing both short- and long-term therapy to individuals, couples and groups.
This means I use various methods in our sessions, including transactional analysis, integrative and relational therapy.
I offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space in which to explore the challenges you are going through.
I aim to provide support and compassion for those in distress and struggling to cope. I believe change can come about by understanding how you have been impacted, where your strengths lie to help you cope and where you might need support to make changes.
I believe that when you feel understood, by yourself and by me, it can help you to identify what you want and need from yourself and others and how to make that happen.
I am fully qualified with a Post Graduate Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling from the Metanoia Institute.
I am also a member of the following organisations:
Counselling takes place in a safe space, where you can meet with someone who will listen with sensitivity and empathy - and without judgement. In the therapy space thoughts and feelings can be expressed freely and in confidence.
Many people face difficulties in their everyday lives that can be hard to get on top of. Counselling gives us a set of tools we can use to help gain a better understanding of what’s causing these problems - and how you can move towards managing or resolving them.
Working together I can help you gain greater insight into the difficulties you are facing, help you understand why you act or react to them the way you do, and see how you can start to make better, heathier choices moving forward.
People come to me for help with a wide range of issues. Here are a few of the more common difficulties that I am experienced in:
I practice from two locations:
In addition to providing face-to-face therapy, I also offer sessions online (via Zoom) for clients throughout the UK. Please contact me to find out more about online therapy.
Sessions are 50 minutes for individuals and couples.
I offer a free initial Telephone Call / Zoom Call. This enables us to discuss the reasons you are thinking of coming to counselling, whether it could be helpful for you and whether I am the right therapist to help.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how counselling works, or to arrange an initial appointment.
You can also call me on 07590 013 717 if you would prefer to leave a message or speak to me first. I am happy to discuss any queries or questions you may have prior to arranging an initial appointment.
All enquires are usually answered within 24 hours, and all contact is strictly confidential and uses secure phone and email services.
