Michele has a special interest and experience working with victims/survivors of domestic and family violence.

Michele aims to assist each person she works with to achieve these things in life. She has training and experience working with the David Mandel Safe and Together Model and the Duluth Model.
Michele works from a trauma-informed, feminist, client-centred, strengths-based approach whilst utilising a range of evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and focused psychological strategies. Michele uses her skills and knowledge to work with her clients collaboratively to establish their goals and work through issues that are affecting their well-being.
