Michelle Leathem

I have availability on weekday evenings and Saturday mornings

If you are feeling anxious, depressed, suffering with stress or burnout from work and/or home, have had a bereavement, or something just doesn't feel right it can be hard to reach out for support but being here looking for the right counsellor for you is that first step.

My aim is to give you a confidential and non-judgmental space to explore the issues that are affecting your life and support in making the changes that you want to make. 

I understand there isn't a one size fits all approach when it comes to your mental health and so use an integrative approach to counselling. The main theory I use is a person centred approach which means that you will take the lead on what you want the focus of your sessions to be and the pace that we work at, however, as an integrative counsellor I am also able to use other theories to help tailor our work together in the best possible way to get support you while also adhering to the Â鶹ԭ´´ code of Ethics to ensure that we are working safely together.

I have experience working with clients with anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, bereavement and loss, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. I also have experience working with adult carers and drug and alcohol addicts.

I work with adults (18+) on a one to one basis. 

I work both remotely on either telephone and video call and also face to face in Warrington. 

I see clients in a way that fits them best, some choose to have weekly sessions, some fortnightly and some monthly. I am happy to work in a way that fits you best.

I offer a free 20 minute introductory call prior to our first session which allows us time to talk about what you are looking for support with, how we will work together and to give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. 

It is important that you feel comfortable with your counsellor so this initial call will give you a feel for how it will be working with me and if you are happy to continue we can book your first full session.
