Michele Moorcroft

I currently have availability for new clients.  I work with adults only over the age of 25.  I offer face-to-face sessions, online via MS Teams or via the telephone.  I offer concessionary rates for trainee Counsellors.

I appreciate that life can be busy, and finding time for sessions may not always be easy.  I offer sessions Monday to Friday at various times throughout the day, this includes early morning and late afternoon.

Reaching out for support can feel like a huge and scary step, but you have found the strength and courage to come this far.  I am a fully qualified integrative Counsellor who after being a Samaritans volunteer for many years, reached the point where I wanted to support people in a different way. As a Counsellor, I enjoy having the opportunity to build a therapeutic relationship.

I am an accredited member of Â鶹ԭ´´, and my experience has been gained through working with a variety of different issues, over a diverse client base. These issues include stress, anxiety and depression, trauma, bereavement and loss, relationships, health and childhood experiences. 

I have my own private practice which is based in Telford, Shropshire.  I also work alongside insurers namely Bupa, AXA, Aviva and Vitality, Employee Assisted Programmes (EAP's), private organisations and charities.

Being an integrative Counsellor allows me to use a mixture of approaches and techniques within my work. This approach allows me to tailor my support to meet your individual needs, as I believe that 'one size does not fit all'.

It is through this relationship that we can explore what is going on for you and work collaboratively, on the things that you are struggling with or want to change. 

Success of therapy has a lot to do with the relationship between the therapist and the client. My primary goal is to offer you a safe, supportive and non-judgemental environment, where you feel comfortable to be yourself.  Together we will explore what is going on for you and the issues you are facing, at a pace that feels right for you. I am committed to ensuring you feel heard, valued and respected throughout the work that we do.

Within the first session, I will present you with some documentation for signature.  This includes a 'Shared Agreement' and a 'Privacy Statement'. The 'Shared Agreement' forms the basis of the counselling relationship, and provides some information about the sessions themselves.  As a registrant of the Information Commissioner's Office, I take the handling of your personal details very seriously. The 'Privacy Statement' details how I will handle such data.  Both of these documents can be found on my website for your perusal.
