Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know. Pema Chödrön, 1997
Hi I’m Michelle Martin, welcome to my private psychotherapy practice. If life feels overwhelming, or quietly exhausting, therapy offers a space to pause and reflect.
Together, we work to gently explore the hidden patterns that no longer serve you or a way forward towards your goals.
When you’re ready, therapy offers a space to start processing what’s been silently weighing you down.
Coaching is distinct from therapy. It is focused on present goals and future action, offering a collaborative space for you to gain clarity or keep motivated. I've worked with clients for greater confidence, career transitions, leadership, growth issues and more. You can bring any life-issue to our coaching sessions.
Therapy is an invitation to step into a new space in life or even a new part of you. It allows us to explore the past, make sense of emotional wounds, and safely process experiences that still echo in the present. A skilled therapeutic conversation can bring relief, understanding and support healing at root-cause levels.
“It seems to me that the good life is not any fixed state.
The good life is a process, not a state of being.
It is a direction, not a destination.”
— Carl Rogers, 1961/1995
I’m a career journalist who trained in psychotherapy simply because I wanted to.
During my own recovery from an accidental injury, I trained in Brainspotting, a unique method that uses eye movements to process trauma. What began as a journey to heal a broken bone turned into a deeper transformation. This experience, along with the stories of my clients, led me to specialize in evidence-based therapies that regard the body as a powerful tool for perception.
I’m Michelle, a broadcaster and practising psychotherapist. I work with individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or trapped in recurring patterns. My approach is integrative. I work with many approaches including sound therapy for well-being and better relationships.

Supporting others is both a calling and a craft — one I continue to refine through dedicated study, professional memberships, and ongoing supervision.
