Michele is a psychotherapist and has a private practice in Bond Street, London and Hampton, Surrey and holds a Master’s degree in Psychoanalysis from the Tavistock and Portman (NHS) and an Economics degree from The London School of Economics. Over 18 years, Michele has facilitated well over 18,000 hours of therapy for clients and patients.

Michele’s first therapy job was with the Rehabilitation of Addicted Prisoners Trust in HMP Coldingley. From there, she went to the Priory Hospital Roehampton and was the Addiction Treatment Manager for 7 years. After leaving the Priory, she was the Business Development Manager for the mental health treatment centre Cottonwood Tucson in Arizona for 5 years.

Michele believes the therapeutic relationship is the most important conduit for therapy, and it is from there that a plan is made together with the client. Michele lives in London with her son, who is training to be a professional golfer, her husband and a very large German Shepherd.
