Michelle Kuzak

Currently I mostly work support eating disorder recovery, sufferers and their families. Please see my website for further information about this. I also offer general counselling services to people who struggle in their daily lives with anxiety,  depression, and a host of other mental health problems. Assisting people to find their inner strengths, lead calmer lives and feel more in control of their decisions. 

When working to restore mental health in anyone I teach skills initially to better manage anxiety and self care. I lay the ground for the work that may follow.  I am a qualified and experienced Psychodynamic counsellor who has also trained in Cognitive behavioural therapy. 

A first session is a chance to meet and discuss a way forward for a client that they feel comfortable with. In this time I offer some general insights and info that might be useful in the short term. Assessment is conducted over several sessions, and the aim is to perhaps discover redundant patterns of thinking and behaviour that may be associated with present difficulties. Psychological measures are completed and analysed to gauge severity of problems. 

Depending on a client’s needs, I may also offer education around emotional states, mental flexibility, mindfulness and sense of self and identity. 

Ultimately I hope to leave clients with a sense of their own internal therapist; a self that evolves to meet challenges in all stages of life.
