Michelle Tovey

I am working face to face until further notice. Sessions are £45.00 for individuals and £60.00 for couples. 

Online therapy is £45.00 per session via skype and zoom

I am an experienced counsellor with over 14 years therapy experience working in private practice. I see a range of clients from individuals and couples. We are at present in a situation with coronavirus disease (covid-19) where you may be socially isolating, practising social distancing, physical distancing, or experience high levels of stress and possibly  health anxiety for yourself or loved ones. I can can provide telephone, zoom and skype sessions to help you manage this difficult and unknown period of time. Together we can create a space where you can safely work through all that is presenting for you. I also work with individuals who have experienced some type of trauma or abuse in childhood, such as neglect of some kind, abuse, divorced parents, domestic abuse, bereavement, adults who aree adult children of alcoholic's and addicts.  I can work with the inner child so that we may understand  what is happening for you in the here and now in relationships. It might be that individuals  feel a 'stuckness' in their life or relationships, or may have a cycle of entering into the same toxic or abusive relationships that always fail. I provide the right therapeutic setting so that people can safely work through presenting issues, enabling them to gain new insight, understanding and a renewed sense of hope and purpose for the future. In addition, I provide workshops to survivors of domestic abuse and substance misusers.   I also delivered an ongoing programme within  a treatment centre in the south west where I work with people in addiction and domestic abuse, whom have often been children of alcoholics or addicts and often domestic abuse survivors themselves. 

Initially there will be a short telephone consultation (free), of around 20 minutes. Here we will establish your needs and requirements, and whether you would like online or face to face sessions. We will also discuss your goals and desired outcomes. From there we can look at availability for both of us, If we are both happy and feel working together is right, we will book in your session and you can begin your therapy sessions.

I can work with individuals who are socially isolating, social distancing, and experiencing stress as a result of coronavirus (covid-19) It may be health anxiety for yourself or a family member, it may be job or life development issues. I can break the feeling of 'aloneness', and work with you online to safely work through your journey. This may be telephone, skype or zoom.
