I have had five sessions with Michelle and all have been such a delight, and so helpful. Michelle has such a perfect balance of professionalism, lightness and warmth. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience to draw on and gently guided me with questions and suggestions without being pushy or rigid. She has been so responsive to my questions and needs in each session and between sessions, offering so many helpful resources along the way. I experienced a host of new symptoms following Covid and some very challenging circumstances, and she really helped me to understand that they were mind-body symptoms, which greatly reduced my anxiety around them. Working with these symptoms with the SIRPA approach meant that I had much less fear and was able to go from feeling scared of walking to walking over two miles. Michelle's guidance around journalling has been invaluable. I had tried previously but had found myself overly triggered, and Michelle gave me skilful instructions on how to journal in a way that feels comfortable, safe and manageable. She also helped me with the fear of not doing it right, which has been so supportive. I can't recommend her highly enough as a wellbeing coach.

The coaching sessions with Michelle were a real learning experience and brought about significant improvements in my physical and mental health. Although we often hear that the mind and stress affect the body I had never really looked at this in depth and analysed that what was in my mind was manifesting itself in physical pain, discomfort and fatigue.

Michelle was calm, patient and insightful and provided many useful resources and techniques for me to use between sessions and going forward. She was encouraging at every stage, and I felt very much supported in uncovering many of the reasons behind my difficulties which included back pain and chronic fatigue. I feel that my mindset has completely changed. I no longer feel so overwhelmed by the condition and have much greater confidence in managing pain- this has effectively led to perhaps an 80 - 90% reduction in symptoms. 

I can really recommend Michelle's approach. She is professional but at the same time empathic and supportive and her commitment to helping me as a client was evident across our sessions.

I think I began the SIRPA sessions with a little scepticism of what was possible but by following the steps that Michelle introduced me to I found that the pain I was experiencing reduced dramatically. Michelle is a great listener and has a wealth of knowledge of many different resources. I finished the sessions with a clear understanding of how to continue moving forwards.

Michelle brings a unique skillset which is useful when life isn’t compartmentalised. She is a listening ear while gently challenging your assumptions and habits and this helped me to see situations in a different way.  It gave me the clarity to focus my energy on the things that were in my control to change and not worry about the things that weren’t. Warm and caring she inspired me to commit to the goals I set and supported me to achieve them in a way that worked for me. As a result, I’ve made positive lifestyle changes and am better equipped with tools to cope with life’s challenges.

Thanks Michelle for helping me at a time in my life that I really needed support and guidance. The 6 week wellbeing coaching really helped me to make important changes and I wouldn’t be where I am now if it wasn’t for your coaching. I would definitely recommend you!
