Mission
About Michelle
My personal and political identities are:
I am a Chinese-Australian, Queer, neurodivergent, and mostly able-bodied cisgender woman.
Professionally, I am a social worker, couple’s counsellor, individual psychotherapist, a family therapist, and a relationship specialist.
My qualifications include a Bachelor of Social Work (Honours) and Graduate Diploma of Relationship Counselling, but more importantly I am a person who cares about empowering you.
At Sydney Inclusive & Relationship Counselling we aim to provide a safe space for you to be empowered and explore your Self and relationships through relationship counselling and individual counselling.
I want to be explicit in saying I am inclusive and warmly welcome all diversities that you may be worried other therapists may not understand including:
- People with all cultural and ethnic backgrounds
- LGBTIQA+
- Domestic Violence Victim-Survivors
- Sex workers
- Non-monogamy
- People who have caused harm
I specialise in issues of self-growth and identity, family and couples therapy, parent-child bonding, working with the LGBTIQA+ community, cultural differences, family of origin exploration and issues, relational and complex trauma such as childhood abuse or neglect, working with men who use violence, and attachment issues. I enjoy working with individuals and couples to really unpack their experiences of relationships and sense of self. I am interested in how our families of origin influence how we think and act in our current relationships. Please note that email is the best way to contact me.
