I am Dr Michelle Mackin, HCPC-registered Counselling Psychologist.
I have worked for many years in NHS specialist services and private practice, supporting people experiencing anxiety, trauma and behavioural difficulties.
My approach is grounded in psychological theory but remains practical and collaborative.
I aim to provide therapy that is:
- psychologically informed
- non-judgemental
- structured without being too rigid
- focused on lasting change rather than temporary coping
