Hi, I'm Michele. I'm a Mental Health, Wellbeing and Personal Development Therapist, specialising in Youth & Young Adults. Using a combination of my Counselling, Coaching and Mentoring skills I offer a holistic, solutions and strengths-based approach. I have experience supporting adolescents with a range of issues, including: complex trauma, high mental health needs, self-harm, suicidal tendencies, anxiety, depression, school refusal, ASD, ADHD and other diagnosis'.

I can assist with conquering current challenges, making positive choices and growing in confidence, which lead to a brighter and more positive future. I have a passion in seeing youth and young adults become the very best version of themselves. I'm here to help guide, encourage, empower, inspire, and equip. I'll help you find direction, confidence, hope, clarity and mental freedom. I truly believe that given the right support, everyone has the capacity to thrive. 

   

CLARITY. HOPE. GUIDANCE. CHANGE.

Guidance, clarity, and hope is needed to help you explore options, then choose what is best for you now, and for the future. Once you are confident in your choices, you will be able to take action and see positive changes.

Your probably aren't aware, but you hold so much more power to make changes in your life than you realise. These changes can, and will, lead to an improvement in your mental health, a clear sense of self-identity and more peace in your daily life.

CLARITY

Together we'll decide what your biggest challenges are, explore options to overcome them and begin to take action

HOPE

Once we start exploring the issues and solutions, you will have hope that the future will be very different to how it is now

CONFIDENCE 

Leave the past behind, turn away from the negative self-talk, see yourself as God sees you, with a new level of confidence

"When I began having concerns with our son and his schooling situation I contacted Michele and  got some advice. I came to Michele with very explicit details of what our son was going through and how we were feeling about the direction we wanted to take. Michele was there to listen and offer advice which supported us to make clear decisions based on the best interest of our son. Following Michele's advice and our own hearts we were able to achieve wonderful and positive outcomes for our son and his future. Michele regularly checks in on our son's progress and always let's us know she is still there for us whenever we need her."

"Michele had walked the journey I was about to take and her support, knowledge and positivity at this time was invaluable to our family"
Jodi M, Mum of 3 boys

"Having first met Michele in 2001, our paths crossed again in 2014 shortly before my middle son then aged 6 was diagnosed with Autism. Michele had walked the journey I was about to take and her support, knowledge and positivity at this time was invaluable to our family. Michele was always there with a listening ear and encouragement. Michele is passionate about her family and seeing youth thrive to be the best they can be no matter what their circumstances are. Michele is very involved with the local community and has become a very important part of my son's life. Her own son is an amazing role model to him of what can be achieved with the right guidance and support. I'm so grateful to this Amazing lady."

"Everyone fails at who they are 'supposed' to be. A measure of a person, of a hero, is how well they succeed at being who they are"

HOW I CAN HELP YOU

Using a combination of my counselling, coaching, mentoring and chaplaincy skills, I will work with you, in a way which suits you, at a pace which suits you. You only share with me what you wish to share. I will help you look at issues from a different perspective, which often provides new insight which helps shed a light on what is happening in your life. Together we will find your strengths, of which you will have many - even if you don't yet see them. Together, we will find a way for you to thrive.

SOME OF THE KEY AREAS I SPECIALISE IN...

A MESSAGE FOR YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS

You need to know something. You are not 'broken'. There is nothing 'wrong' with you. You do not need to be 'fixed'. You just need some support at this point in time. You might need someone to help you make decisions. You might need someone to talk things over with. You might need someone help you look beyond your past and see the positive and potential in you. You are not your past. You might need someone to support you as you work through a confusing time in your life. I hope you'll let me help you, so you can become the amazing young adult that I am sure you are destined to be.

"For with God, nothing is impossible"
Luke 1:37

I have a deep passion for supporting Adolescents, Teens, Youth, Young Adults and their families. I operate from my Catholic values with a strengths-based approach to help you overcome challenges, form your own identity and foster a positive mindset which will help you not only enjoy the 'now', but look forward to the future.  I am based on the beautiful Central Coast of NSW. Please reach out if you think I can be of help to yourself, a friend or a family member.
