MICHELLE CROWE dip.couns
As a Professional Counsellor and Trauma-informed Somatic Therapist, Michelle provides a supportive and nurturing environment for her clients, assisting them in gaining greater clarity and awareness of what is holding them back.

physical or mental health issues they may be experiencing.

Client testimonial
Working with Michelle has helped me enormously improve my mental health and well-being in a range of areas. From assisting a speedy recovery from the stress of a double knee operation to helping gain greater clarity, emotional stability, calmness and grounding in all aspects of my personal and work life. She is now an integral part of my own self care and most often my first point of call when I am in pain or struggling in life. I highly recommend her.
