A thoughtful space to understand yourself
I'm Micky, an integrative psychotherapist with a background in psychology and counselling. I'm interested in how our relationships and experiences shape the way we feel, see ourselves and connect with other people. My approach is grounded in curiosity, careful listening and the relationship we build together. We can focus on what feels difficult now, explore where familiar patterns may have come from, and make space for questions that do not have simple answers.
What might bring you to therapy?
You do not need a diagnosis or a perfectly clear reason to begin. Some people arrive with a specific difficulty; others simply know that something does not feel quite right.
Relationships & recurring patterns
When similar tensions, doubts or ways of relating keep returning.
Self-esteem & self-criticism
When your inner voice is harsh or your sense of worth feels uncertain.
Identity, belonging & change
When you're questioning who you are, where you fit or what comes next.
Low mood & disconnection
When life feels flat, heavy or difficult to engage with.
Grief, loss & difficult experiences
When something significant has happened and you need space to make sense of it.
Therapy is a conversation we shape together
You do not need to prepare an account of your whole life before we begin. I will listen carefully, ask questions when helpful and invite us to notice patterns, feelings and meanings that might otherwise be difficult to recognise. At times we may explore the past; at others, what is happening in the present or within our sessions. We can talk openly about what feels useful and adapt our focus as the work develops.
Curiosity without judgement · Space for your own pace · Reflection and collaboration
An integrative approach, shaped around you
I draw on humanistic, psychodynamic and existential approaches rather than expecting everyone to fit one model. Each offers a different way of understanding experience: how we feel in the present, what we carry from earlier relationships, and the questions of identity, choice and meaning that can shape our lives.
Humanistic
Humanistic approaches place importance on your own experience and the quality of our relationship.
Explore my approach
Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic thinking considers how earlier experiences and relationships can continue to influence the present, sometimes in ways we do not immediately recognise.
Explore my approach
Existential
Existential therapy makes room for questions about identity, belonging, uncertainty, responsibility and how we want to live.

Questions you might have
Do I need to know exactly why I want therapy?
No. You may have a particular difficulty in mind, or just a sense that something feels unresolved or is no longer working for you. We can begin with what you are aware of and take time to understand the rest together.
What happens in the first session?
We will talk about what has brought you to therapy, what you
hope for and whether my approach feels suitable. You do not need
to prepare a full account of your life or know exactly where to
start.
Is online therapy right for me?
Online therapy may be a convenient way to meet consistently from a private place without travelling. We would agree a suitable video platform, and you must be physically in the UK during every session. It is important that you have sufficient privacy and a stable connection. We can discuss practical or clinical suitability before beginning.
How much does a session cost?
Each ongoing 50-minute session costs £100. Reduced student fees may be considered and agreed individually. The 15-minute introductory call is free, with no obligation to continue.
