Hello, I'm Michelle, the founder of Roots to Recovery — i am an integrative therapist offering a calm, supportive space to help you work through life’s challenges with compassion and clarity. I work holistically, tailoring therapy to each individual by drawing on a blend of person-centred, psychodynamic, attachment-based, and CBT approaches.

I have a special interest in addiction and have spent the past three years working in addiction treatment centres across Hertfordshire, delivering both group therapy and one-to-one support. I also work with a wide range of issues including trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, phobias, relationship difficulties, and couples therapy.

Alongside my private practice, I volunteer with Samaritans and have experience working with clients involved in the probation and prison services, offering emotional support in complex and often high-risk situations.

I offer:

·         Face-to-face sessions in Apsley, Hertfordshire

·         Walk and Talk therapy across the Hertfordshire area

·         Remote sessions (online or phone) available nationally

At the core of my work is a belief in the power of the therapeutic relationship — a safe, non-judgemental space where you can be heard, understood, and supported. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just need someone to talk to, I'm here to walk alongside you.

As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), I adhere to ethical practice and am committed to supporting you in a way that is respectful, empowering, and effective.
