Michele listened very actively without interruption and was very patient. He had a way of extracting what he thought to be the key issues impacting on my mental health issues and provided a rationale between trauma and current behavioural patterns, which in themselves may have appeared positive and innocuous, and so outlined areas of life requiring future work and attention.

I have been working with Michele for almost two years and during that time I have experienced transformational growth that has effected me positively in all areas in my life; Interpersonal relationships, boundaries, decision making, work, mood management, perception and so much more. He has an enormous passion for his work and the positive difference he makes - this paired with years of experience - in work and in life is a great combination for a highly effective therapist. His in-depth knowledge of how the mind works means he knows how and when to deploy different methods to effectively help you reach your overall goal. As a person that has been in therapy on/off for over 10 years who has had over 4 therapists I can say hands down he is the best therapist I have had. He doesn't placate you and say tell me more about that, he gives you the realities as you need them, when you need them and gives you the tools, support and insight to reach the next step in your journey. He has also provided with me support outside of the sessions when it was necessary. His aim is not to keep you as a client and keep comfortable at where you are (although he makes you feel very comfortable in his sessions) his aim is to make a difference in your life. So much so he has reignited a dormant desire in me to dedicate some time in my life to doing the same. As I touched on in the beginning of this review - I've experienced so much growth. I leave his sessions excited to independently navigate my next phase in life feeling stronger, more aware and more confident than I have ever felt. Not only can I feel this change internally but others can see it too. It has event helped me come closer to my goaIs outside of therapy and for this I will be forever grateful. Thank you :)
