About Michaela
Driven by a belief in each person’s capacity to shift their story, Michaela creates grounded, human spaces where reflection leads to practical steps toward healing and empowerment. She supports work on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, ADHD and coping with life changes, and she offers focused care for issues such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, communication and family of origin difficulties.
Registered with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) - a national professional body for psychotherapists and counsellors - Michaela’s practice is informed by evidence-based techniques and a trauma-informed stance. Her work aims to help people reconnect with inner clarity, take ownership of their choices, and move forward with greater resilience and purpose.
Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care
Trauma-informed psychotherapy supports a sensitive, paced exploration of difficult experiences and their effects on daily life. This approach helps people build awareness of patterns, regulate overwhelming reactions, and strengthen coping strategies so they feel more grounded over time.
Clinical hypnosis is a focused, guided technique that facilitates relaxation and access to resources such as confidence, motivation or symptom reduction. It can be useful for managing stress, anxiety and habits when combined with broader psychotherapeutic work.
Narrative therapy invites people to examine the stories they tell about themselves and to reshape those narratives toward preferred outcomes. It is helpful for addressing self-esteem, relationship themes, and life transitions by highlighting strengths and alternative perspectives.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Michaela works collaboratively with clients to identify which approaches fit their needs, goals and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility - appointments can fit around work, family and location constraints, and different formats suit different needs such as real-time conversation or written reflection. Licensed professionals can deliver these approaches effectively in remote formats, making care more accessible for people managing busy lives or geographical limitations.
