Welcome to my Private Practice
My name is Michela, and I provide treatments for a number of psychological difficulties. My model of psychotherapy is integrative, humanistic, and existential. It means that in order to best meet your needs, I will employ various strategies drawn from several therapy models. I am a specialist in:
Counselling, Psychosexual and Relationship therapy, also known as couples counselling and sex therapy.
My two primary professional trainings are fundamentally intertwined and allow me to work with people as a whole, whether they enter my clinic room with specific psychosexual and relationship problems or with other psychological concerns.
I have a strong interest in diversity and identity. I firmly believe that sexual health is a right that should be protected. Sexuality is such a huge part of human identity. People should have a right to a healthy identity in all aspects of their lives, sex included.
I love studying human behaviour. I learned about all of the different schools of thought on therapeutic techniques, and I saw value in them all. I could see how the Humanistic approach would help some and CBT others. Many people might benefit from a Psychodynamic approach, while others would be more Existential or Analytic.
I knew that there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to seeking therapy interventions. My approach is person-centred because each person and couple are unique.
I am a registered practitioner with AXA Health, AVIVA, WPA, Cigna, and Vitality Health. I have previously worked for Relate and the NHS as a psychosexual and relationship therapist for a number of years.
My practice is only for adult clients of all gender identities and sexualities.
