Hi, I'm Michelle Dodgson

I'm also a qualified psychodynamic therapist who specialises in integrated therapies. Taking a tailored approach to the counselling sessions, I work with my clients to address their individual situations and concerns, whether it means replacing negative behaviours or developing their personality.
For more than 20 years, clients have chosen me for my unique sessions, which are different to any other therapist. Over the course of my career I have gained various certifications from specialist therapy and counselling training courses which means you're in safe, experienced hands.

Reward yourself with counselling and therapy 💚
Many people believe that psychotherapy is only suited to those who are suffering from personal issues and have very negative connotations about it.
Although I do help clients to overcome their own problems, my sessions are also designed to help clients find themselves, achieve personal development and make a fresh start. A lot of my clients leave every session with a smile, and are both excited and proud when they see the progress that they are making.
For Elite clients that have completed their 5 or 6 sessions and can confidently manage their concerns, the door is always open and can return any time at all for an ad-hoc session or sessions.

Your first session is a relaxed, informal conversation where we get to know each other. We’ll talk about what’s brought you to therapy, what you’d like support with, and answer any questions you may have. There’s no pressure to share everything straight away—it’s simply a chance to feel comfortable and see if it’s the right fit for you.

Read how counselling has helped clients on the road to recovery
I welcome the opportunity to leave this review having just completed a counselling course with Michelle, I found her to be very informative on various methods of therapy and very easy to bond with which I found essential in order to progress within the therapy, with her assistance I found my confidence starting to restore, obviously starting a journey of this magnitude can be daunting to a newcomer, but be assured if you are considering therapy for your situation help is at hand and I would thoroughly recommend you contact Michelle.
Mr Peter Harrison
I cannot recommend Michelle enough, I was nervous about speaking to anyone but Michelle made me feel at ease and relaxed straight away. Her advise was invaluable and it has made such a difference to my life in a very short space of time. She helped me gain my confidence back so I could tackle my problems head on. She is amazing in what she knows and the advice that she gives, I wouldn't hesitate in contacting her again if I needed to. Thank you Michelle you have changed my life. xx

I came to see Michelle on a recommendation and can honestly say she has helped me enormously. In a few short weeks Michelle has helped me to deal with issues that have crippled me for decades and has helped me to be stronger, calmer and, above all, more assertive. Michelle is a lovely lady, very welcoming, empathic and puts one completely at ease. I would highly recommend her as a therapist.
Sue Thompson
I found Michelle to be thoroughly professional in her approach. Michelle always arrived on time as arranged and the sessions eventually gave me the tools to move forward. Michelle's style of therapy is as described on the website - "beneficial" and I would recommend the use of those professional services for anyone with the requirement.

I've been working with Michelle for a number of weeks now, she is amazing! I highly recommend. Michelle shows empathy and very caring. She will help in anyway possible. Michelle has been there for me when I felt I had no one else. Cannot thank Michelle enough for the help and support I've achieve so far. Thank you Michelle!
Hannah Lewis
I would like to thank Michelle for her amazing work with myself in the past 5 months. As a "man" I had the ego stopping me for putting my hand up and asking for help. She made me feel so comfortable from the second I walked in. Its amazing that the help Michelle gives you you're be able to pass on to other people who are in need of this too! Thank you for turning my life around and putting me into a happier and stress free life. Cannot recommend Michelle enough.
