Michelle is an empathetic and integrative counsellor who works with individuals and couples, with specialised expertise in cross-cultural relationships, LGBTQ+ clients, and relational trauma. With warmth, clarity, and deep respect, she accompanies her clients through emotional challenges, identity exploration, and the complexity of intimate relationships.

She holds a Master of Counselling, and has completed clinical training with Relationships Australia Victoria (RAV), Integrative Psychology, and Prepare & Enrich premarital & marriage facilitation. In addition to her therapeutic background, Michelle has completed the Harvard Medical School–certified Nutrition & Lifestyle Medicine Coaching Program, which enables her to integrate evidence-based lifestyle medicine into mental health care.

Michelle brings a mind–body–spirit approach to her work, incorporating psychological theory with meditation, sound therapy, yoga-based somatic practices, and Integrating Sex Therapy for Couples. She also holds specialised training in Therapeutic Yoga for Trauma Recovery (Trauma-Informed & Somatic Integration Approach), supporting clients to regulate their nervous system and restore a sense of inner safety.

Fluent in both English and Mandarin, Michelle provides culturally attuned counselling grounded in compassion, inclusivity, and emotional safety. She offers a non-judgmental space where clients can cultivate emotional resilience, secure attachment, and meaningful self-understanding.

In her couples work, Michelle views the relationship itself as the client, guiding partners to strengthen shared meaning, emotional safety, intimacy, and communication—while integrating sexuality as a natural part of relational health. For individuals, her approach is gentle yet structured, supporting self-awareness, emotional regulation, trauma integration, and identity growth.

With over ten years of practice in Tibetan Buddhist philosophy, mindfulness, and compassion-based meditation, Michelle integrates contemplative wisdom with therapeutic science—helping clients reconnect with calm, clarity, and inner strength.

Whether you are seeking to heal emotional wounds, navigate life transitions, improve your relationship, or reconnect with your authentic self, Michelle will walk with you—steadily, wisely, and wholeheartedly—toward healing and wholeness.
