How We work
It can feel daunting to believe that talking therapy might help. From both personal and professional experience, we have seen how powerful it can be when someone is given a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore their emotions. In our counselling work here in Bradford, we offer exactly that, room to talk, reflect, and begin to heal.
When we openly express our worries, we often uncover new insights that deepen our self-awareness and help us move forward. A calm, therapeutic conversation with someone who truly listens is often the first step in managing life’s challenges.
As counsellors based in Bradford, we offer individual, couples, and young adult therapy using an integrative approach tailored to your needs. Whether in-person or online, our sessions are collaborative and grounded in empathy. We will listen closely, acknowledging that there are no simple fixes, and work with you to explore emotions, discover meaning, and identify patterns that may no longer serve you.

Meet Michelle – Integrative Counsellor
Hello, I’m Michelle. I’m a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a qualified integrative counsellor (DipHE). I offer face-to-face and online counselling, providing a warm, empathic space where you can talk at your own pace.
My Approach
I work relationally, placing our therapeutic relationship at the heart of the process. My core approach is Person-Centred counselling, grounded in the belief that you are the expert in your own experience. I offer acceptance, empathy and honesty, creating the conditions where you can explore your thoughts and feelings more clearly and begin to move towards the changes you want.
As an integrative counsellor, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches alongside Person-Centred therapy when it feels helpful and right for you. This means our work is tailored to your individual needs rather than fitting you into one fixed model.
My Background
Before qualifying as a counsellor, I spent over eight years working as a dental hygienist within the NHS and private practice. This role strengthened my ability to support people who may feel anxious, vulnerable, or unsure, and to remain calm and compassionate in fast-paced environments.
I also have over six years’ experience working in classrooms alongside teachers, supporting and educating children. These roles have shaped my understanding of communication, emotional wellbeing, and the importance of feeling heard and understood at every stage of life.

- Diploma of Higher Education in Therapeutic Counselling, Leeds Beckett University (2025)

Session Structure and Timing
Each session lasts 50 minutes and is available face-to-face at the Grove Business Centre in Bradford, online across the UK, or via telephone.
In our first session, we’ll explore what brings you to therapy and establish a working agreement that outlines your goals. We generally suggest a minimum of six sessions, though many clients find 8–12 beneficial, while others continue for longer-term support depending on their needs.
The First Step
To see whether we’re a good fit, we offer a free 15-minute initial consultation either by phone or online. This gives you a chance to ask questions and experience how we work before deciding to continue. After this consultation, you will then be allocated to the counsellor that best fits your individual needs.
To book your free consultation in Bradford, simply get in touch via telephone or email. We aim to respond within 48 hours.
