Michelle Cahill

My private practice is currently full, but I have some availability for online hours.  I work primarily with trauma on a medium to long term basis.

Please feel free to contact me directly to discuss your needs and see if we can find a convenient time to work together.  Please also feel free to contact me regarding face-to-face therapy - I work on a waiting list so would be happy to contact you if and when a space becomes available. 

I am a qualified counsellor (Level 6 Post-Graduate Diploma) and finishing my final year of an MSC in Counselling & Psychotherapy which will give me UKCP accreditation as well as BACP and NCPS accreditation.  Being a UKCP accredited Psychotherapist enables me to work in-depth with my clients; using the relationship between us to address how one's childhood impacts both the person you are today, and your relationship with others.  

I tend to work on a medium to long-term basis with clients, but also have experience of shorter term therapy.

I am both relational and integrative, meaning that I use many different modalities to support the individual I am in relation with:  we are all so unique that I do not believe that one modality can support the whole of the person that meets me in therapy.

I look forward to all that you bring to the therapeutic space, and welcome you without judgement or expectation.

We will start our journey with an introductory chat where we can discuss a little more about your reasons for coming to therapy, and you can hear a little about the way that I work with my clients.  There is no charge for this session.  I will then ask you to go away and think about the journey ahead, and whether this is one that you would like to invite me to come on alongside you.

All contracts and paperwork will be emailed out to you prior to our first session:  I prefer for these not to come into the therapeutic space unless something has arisen in the paperwork that I need to address.

Our first session will therefore be a session uninterrupted by paperwork, where we expand further on the matters brought forward in our introductory session.  This is the beginning of our journey together, and a time for us to settle in to our relationship.
