Should either party experience technical difficulties, we will endeavour to email you straight away and/or try to reconnect online as soon as possible. If overall, more than 15 minutes of the session has not occurred due to technical problems we will offer to supplement this time, and if this is not possible, we will agree a reduced rate for that session in proportion to the service received.
Before the initial consultation:
In the initial consultation the therapist you see will explore your current difficulties and talk with you about how to proceed. We will want to ensure that your situation is best suited to having online therapy. However online therapy is not always suitable and in such cases we will try to recommend more suitable options that you might then wish to explore.
As therapists we aim to develop a trusting and friendly work relationship. To maintain the confidentiality and the boundaries of our work it is not appropriate to engage âsociallyâ on any social network and social or professional forums.
As remote counselling is unique, the client needs to provide the counsellor with at least one support person as part of the intake form.
Yes, as energy connects regardless of distance. The same profound effect will be experienced, whether in-person or via distance. It is not necessary to meet each other physically or to be present in the same room as Michele for this to work. This allows Michele to work with anyone regardless of their location in the world via video.
When we go through challenging times, or experience emotional situations, sometimes these emotions are not fully processed and our body can trap the energy of these emotions (trapped emotions) in our body.
Trapped emotions can build up, creating what feels like heavy emotional baggage or psychic weight, which can weigh a person down and stop them from moving forward in life to reach their full potential. This trapped emotional energy also starts to block the natural flow of energy in the body, which may trigger symptoms of physical, mental and emotional issues.
It is estimated that the average person has over 100 trapped emotions, and 93 percent of people have a heart wall of trapped emotions which they have built up to protect themselves, which may no longer be required.
Trapped emotions can be inherited from your parents and/or ancestors, which may stem from trauma or situations they experienced. If your mother experienced some challenges in her pregnancy with you, you can trap emotions whilst inside the womb (prenatal).
⢠People feeling stuck or blocked from moving forward in any area of their life.
⢠People who are struggling to find answers for their health issues from other modalities.
⢠People who want to get back in control of their emotions and who may be easily triggered emotionally by other people, situations or events.
⢠People who may have avoided feeling their emotions in the past and built up a wall no longer needed (heart wall).
From Micheleâs experience, trapped emotions can be the part of the cause of many physical and mental health issues, and why many people may feel stuck trying move forward in their lives. The Emotion Code can help uncover and release both conscious and unconscious suppressed emotions, as well as potential generational and pre-natal emotions.
Michele can make it possible to clear the emotional baggage and heaviness that is weighing you down, without the need to re-live your past.
Some of the benefits previous clients have experienced with Michele are:
Â
The emotion code practice recommends only 10 emotions be cleared at a time per session, to allow your body to fully process the emotion clearing. It depends how many emotions you have trapped as to how many you need clearing for a particular issue.
Heart walls usually take a minimum of two sessions to clear the emotions associated with the heart wall.
You may initially feel a bit tired for the first 24 hours or so after a session as all of the emotions are being cleared from your body energetically. It is not recommended to have an Emotion Code session until at least 3 days after your last session to allow your body to clear all emotions released.
Drama Therapy (also spelt Dramatherapy) is a form of creative arts therapy that uses drama to facilitate change and healing. Clients do not need experience in drama to benefit from this creative method of therapy. All clients need is a willingness to change and to engage in this gentle, supportive and playful way of working. A normal session begins with a warm-up game or activity, a drama therapy process working on the clientsâ issues and goals for change, and an integration of the learning and closing ritual. The sessions are client-centred and clients are invited to participate on the understanding that they are the experts of their own life and healing, and every invitation is optional.
The use of drama in therapy began in modern western culture in Europe in the nineteenth century. By the middle of the twentieth century the use of drama in therapy and education was growing and in 1976 the British Association of Dramatherapy was formed. This gave a âprofessional base for the initiatives that were developing across the countryâ (British Association of Dramatherapy, website: http://www.badth.org.uk). The British Association of Dramatherapy uses the following definition to define dramatherapy:
Dramatherapy has as its main focus the intentional use of healing aspects of drama and theatre as the therapeutic process. It is a method of working and playing that uses action methods to facilitate creativity, imagination, learning, insight and growth.
This definition highlights the common application of drama therapy, in that its main focus is the intentional use of the healing aspects of drama and theatre as the therapeutic process. There are however different ways of approaching dramatherapy depending on the model the Drama Therapist uses, which changes the definition of dramatherapy according to each personâs chosen approach.Â

A typical drama therapy session varies depending on the goals of the therapy, the needs of the participants, and the specific approach used by the therapist. However, there are several common elements that may be found in many drama therapy sessions:
1. Warm-up Activities: Sessions often begin with warm-up activities designed to help participants relax, become present, and prepare for the therapeutic work ahead. These activities may include simple movement exercises, vocal warm-ups, or group games that encourage connection and engagement.
2. Check-In: The therapist may invite participants to share how they are feeling emotionally, physically, or mentally at the start of the session. This check-in provides an opportunity for participants to express any concerns or updates since the last session and sets the tone for the therapeutic work ahead.
3. Exploration and Expression: Drama therapy often involves using various dramatic techniques, such as role-playing, improvisation, storytelling, or creative visualization, to explore and express thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Participants may be invited to embody different characters or scenarios, allowing them to gain insight into their own perspectives and behaviours.
4. Processing and Reflection: After engaging in dramatic activities, the therapist facilitates a discussion to help participants process their experiences, insights, and emotions. This reflection allows participants to deepen their understanding of themselves and their relationships and may uncover underlying themes or patterns.
5. Skill-Building: Depending on the goals of the therapy, sessions may include skill-building activities aimed at developing specific social, emotional, or cognitive skills. These activities may focus on communication, problem-solving, empathy, assertiveness, or other relevant skills that can be practiced through drama-based exercises.
6. Closure: Sessions typically end with a closing activity or ritual to provide closure and transition participants back to their everyday lives. This may include a group reflection, a closing circle, or a relaxation exercise to help participants integrate their experiences and leave the session feeling grounded and supported.
Throughout the session, the therapist serves as a guide and facilitator, creating a safe and supportive environment for participants to explore, express, and learn. The therapeutic relationship between the therapist and participant(s) is central to the process, fostering trust, empathy, and collaboration as they journey together towards healing and growth.
