Michelle is an empathetic and compassionate counsellor who specialises in individual and couple therapy, with a particular focus on supporting cross-cultural couples and LGBTQ+ clients. She deeply understands the complexity of relationships and walks alongside her clients with warmth, authenticity, and respect.

She holds a Master of Counselling and has completed clinical training with Relationships Australia Victoria (RAV)and Integrative Psychology. Additionally, Michelle has completed the Harvard Medical School–certified Nutrition & Lifestyle Coach Program, which equips her to integrate evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle medicine principles into holistic wellbeing counselling.

In her work, Michelle combines psychological science with holistic healing, integrating approaches such as meditation, sound therapy, and lifestyle coaching to create a deeply restorative mind–body–spirit experience.

Fluent in English and Mandarin, Michelle offers culturally sensitive counselling that honours each client’s individuality and background. She provides a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can cultivate self-understanding, emotional resilience, and self-compassion, and build stronger, more fulfilling relationships.

In couple counselling, Michelle views the relationship itself as the client—helping partners build shared goals, emotional connection, and effective communication. For individual counselling, she provides a nurturing environment that encourages self-awareness, balance, and inner strength.

With over a decade of practice in Tibetan Buddhist philosophy and mindfulness, Michelle naturally incorporates mindfulness-based and compassion-focused therapy into her sessions, supporting clients to rediscover calm, clarity, and inner peace.

Whether you seek to strengthen your relationship, adapt to life transitions, or explore personal growth, Michelle will accompany you with warmth, understanding, and wisdom on your journey toward healing and wholeness.
