A conversation that starts with understanding you.
You may know exactly what has brought you to therapy. Or you may only know that something needs to change.
Miguelle works with you to understand what has been happening, what feels difficult, and what you would like to be different. She places importance on trust and on feeling understood in the therapeutic relationship.
Her experience spans more than 15 years in public and private practice, supporting adults through trauma, loss, emotional overwhelm and life changes.
You do not need to choose a therapy method before you meet. There is room to ask questions and decide together how to work.
What brings you here matters.
Some experiences are easy to name. Others overlap or take time to put into words. Miguelle works with adults around the following concerns.
Trauma and its impact
Single incidents, repeated or chronic distressing experiences, and intergenerational trauma that may affect how you feel and relate to others.
Grief and loss
Bereavement, changes in relationships, and the adjustments that can follow a significant loss.
Anxiety and depression
Worry, low mood, and patterns of thinking or feeling that make everyday life more difficult.
Overwhelm and change
Intense emotions, life stress and transitions, with attention to coping and emotion regulation.
Confidence and growth
Self criticism, self doubt and recurring patterns, alongside questions about what you want from your life.
Adoption and foster care
Adult experiences connected with adoption, foster care, attachment, identity and family relationships.
Thoughtful structure.
Room for your pace.
