Michelle Ikei

My communication style

My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard, seen, and validated. By fostering an atmosphere of trust and openness, I encourage clients to share their experiences and emotions freely, without fear of judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to become a therapist because I've always enjoyed talking to others, building strong and trusting relationships, and helping people to get through difficult situations or times in their lives. I am dedicated to supporting people to discover their strengths and potential, and embracing who they are and want to be.

My goals for you

My approach involves setting clear and realistic goals with clients, ensuring that each session serves as an opportunity for progress and personal growth. This begins with building trust and creating a comfortable, safe space where clients can openly share and explore their experiences and feelings.

Our first session

In our first session, you can expect us to spend our time discussing who you are and gain a deeper understanding of your past and current struggles, strengths, and coping skills. We will also discuss your support systems, set goals for treatment, and determine what approach will be the best fit for you moving forward.
