I'm Michelle

Micheller

I have over 20 years' experience of working with young people from birth to teenage years, 10 of which have been as a therapist working with young people in Schools, for the NHS and in the Priory hospital.

Over the past four years I have seen an increased demand for support from 18-25 year olds so over the last year I have also been offering support to young people from this age group.

I started Moo Therapy so that I could provide the best possible service to the young people I work with without being constrained by high case-loads and limited time for reflection before and after my sessions.

The therapeutic models I'm qualified to use include Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Adolescents (IPTA) and Creative therapy (CT), your sessions will incorporate the relevant techniques depending on your needs.

All young people I work with will have an initial assessment with their parents/carers included in the session and then they will typically have an initial treatment block of 10 sessions. After the initial sessions there will be a review and discussion with the young person and if appropriate, their parents/carers to check in, discuss progress and renegotiate their treatment plan.

I understand that it's hard to know what to do when your child is in crisis or having difficulties that you're not sure how to manage. If you have any questions then please feel free to call me for a chat, I'm happy to help and give advice and help where I can.
