Who AM i
Hi, I’m Michelle, a certified EFT Practitioner and Counsellor and a member of EFT International. I have over 20 years of counselling experience in a range of different settings across Australia, including generalist counselling, relationship and family counselling, and genetic counselling. My extensive training in trauma and EFT Tapping has equipped me with the tools to help people navigate complex life experiences. When I discovered clinical EFT, it felt like the missing piece in my therapeutic toolkit. This technique has consistently proven to be more effective than traditional talk therapy, allowing my clients to achieve breakthroughs in a safe and gentle manner.
I absolutely love working as an EFT Practitioner and am very passionate about the work I do. I take great pleasure in helping other people and feel like this is my calling in life. I particularly enjoy working with clients who have experienced trauma or high-stress situations. My approach is versatile, as I also enjoy working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, workplace stress, relationship challenges, grief and loss, and sexual assault, among other concerns. In fact, I relish the opportunity to support clients dealing with a wide range of issues.
One of the aspects I love most about clinical EFT is its ability to quickly reduce the intensity of strong emotions. This allows people to think more clearly and gain new perspectives, ultimately leading to improved situations and a renewed enjoyment of life with greater confidence, resilience and self-esteem.
My clients often share that they appreciate my genuine, down-to-earth personality and my non-judgmental, empathic approach. Building a trusting relationship is fundamental to my practice, and I strive to create a safe space where clients feel comfortable sharing their experiences. I also bring a sense of humour to sessions—when appropriate—creating a balanced atmosphere even during challenging discussions.
Having utilised clinical EFT in my personal life to work through various difficult situations, I can attest to its profound impact. It has helped me overcome challenges I thought I would be stuck in for years, and I am grateful for the incredible power of this technique.
Outside of my professional life, I am passionate about staying active. I enjoy bushwalking, mountain biking, practicing yoga, and riding my electric scooter, which is lots of fun! I cherish quality time with family and friends, whether it's enjoying meals together, sharing a coffee, or engaging in outdoor activities. I also have a love for photography, especially capturing the beauty of nature.
