Dear Michele

I don’t know if you’re aware of it, but you are a gift from God. Words can’t say how much you helped me. Thank you for the effort to see me as soon as possible after I phoned you about my loss. Thank you for your genuine empathy. You patiently helped me to understand the emotions I was feeling and provided me with a safe place to express the intense emotions that were overwhelming me. You also suggested some practical exercises to help me work through my grief – it really helped me a lot.

May God continue to comfort and heal people through you.

I booked a session with Dr. Michele after experiencing some personal relationship difficulties.  Even on the day I booked my session she had a short conversation with me and said something that changed how I felt instantly.  She said that I could not always take responsibility for other people’s sadness and sorrow (caused by their own choices in life) on myself.  Something I struggled with, especially during that time.  

She engaged with me from the first minute with respect, insight and clarity but in an open and powerful way.  Keeping a clear focus on what we are working on and why.

Thank you …for your unselfish care (our one-hour consultation turned out to be a two and half hour long discussion).    I felt pleased, relieved and satisfied after our session and thank you wholeheartedly and truly appreciate your patience and care.

Dr. Michele will always be special in my eyes for her unique ability to immediately connect with me as a person and she was sensitive to my needs.  Not only is she a talented researcher and editor but I also found her extremely skilled at naturally incorporating creative problem solving throughout our session.  Her positive impact on me as a person is still obvious as I’m currently reading literature she suggested and I’m loving it. 

My session with her exceeded all my expectations.  The quality of her insight during feedback and reflection was very powerful and helpful.  She summarised and recapped the reasons contributing to my confusion and frustrations in such a short but still “wow” manner that I could immediately identify and understand some problem areas better.

The benefits from our session are still significant in my daily experiences and empowered me as a person.

She is a talented counsellor and overall a great person to be around. Thank you for your excellent support and I have no doubt that you will continue to make a positive impact and impression on many people in future.

Help came after a hard 2020 battling through our daughter’s diagnosis of Rhabdomyo Embryonal Sarcoma. We went through chemo, radiation, operations and more chemo. Through this time Dad was working overseas and I spent a lot of time in the hospital with our daughter.

As a mom of three, I started picking up that our other children struggled emotionally and spiritually. Being so focused on our daughter fighting cancer left us as parents with little to no time or energy for anything else. On top of fighting cancer, there was COVID, home-schooling, and no contact with family/friends.

All these factors can break a child. We reached out to Dr. Michele and could see changes from the 1st session. We started understanding how to work with our children, how to console them and support them during this time. The children started making sense of their circumstances finding new normal on an ever-changing cancer journey.

Tools and exercises given by Dr. Michele equipped us and our children to function better and our house is once again calm. We as a family are more open to voice and show our emotions, seeing the light at the end of a dark tunnel. We learned that it is okay to have hard days, feeling low does not make you weak. We learned to communicate better by giving our feelings a name helping us to identify and work through a roller coaster of emotions.

We cannot thank Dr. Michele enough for all her love, patience and assistance. Our children are happier and in a better place. There is a healing mind, body and soul. We look forward to the continued journey with you.

Michele you created a very safe and calm space for me to share very private things that I struggled to deal with on my own. I felt validated and heard. The sessions felt like I was talking to a friend. It helped me get clarity and perspective. I left feeling lighter and empowered.
