About Michelle

Michelle Clark is a seasoned social worker with 28 years of experience who combines professional training with lived experience to support people through significant life challenges. She brings a compassionate and direct style shaped by her own journey with mental health and as a victim and survivor of domestic violence, together with her neurodivergent perspective, to create a nurturing and empowering therapeutic space. Michelle works with adults who are ready for genuine change and transformation, offering straightforward guidance that is non-judgmental and emotionally attuned.

As an AASW credential holder, Michelle is affiliated with the Australian Association of Social Workers, reflecting her professional standing in the field. Her clinical focus includes stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse recovery, self-esteem work, bipolar disorder, and depression, alongside additional attention to body image, chronic pain and illness, communication difficulties, family and relationship problems, grief, isolation and life purpose concerns. She also supports people navigating divorce, separation, domestic violence, and issues related to veteran and armed forces experiences.

Michelle operates a private telehealth counselling practice in Australia and supports clients through a range of online modalities. She emphasizes collaboration and gentle challenge, helping clients explore worth, healing, and future direction while building resilience and practical skills. She also shares uplifting content on social media to complement her therapeutic work and encourage ongoing self-awareness.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online

Michelle uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress related to life transitions. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering an empathetic, non-directive environment where the person s own goals and insights guide the work and where self-esteem and personal growth are primary aims. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another part of her toolkit, providing structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours, which can be especially helpful for panic, mood disorders, and everyday anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michelle works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time so therapy remains relevant and practical for the individual.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people juggling work, family, or health limitations. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access support from varied locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while receiving care from a licensed professional.
