Soul Play client testimonials

"I've seen many specialists and practitioners and Michele, and her ways of working have been the most helpful to me. We have been able to get through a lot in each session and address things quickly in both a practical living way and energetically, I've felt incredibly and genuinely supported. When I originally booked, I wasn't at all expecting to feel so good after our sessions. I've noticed that my physical and inner strength is building, and I am brighter within. I am so grateful to have found Michele and I truly cannot recommend her highly enough."

"I have been fortunate enough to have recently had Body Code healing with Michele. Apart from having a kind, caring, positive and empathetic nature, Michele is an exceptional healer and is well versed in a number of different modaties. I wasn't aware of The Body Code method before trying it, but am a huge fan and highly recommend it to others. It is a non intrusive healing process and has taught me about trapped emotions, illness and the body in general. Not only has it helped with my symptoms, but it has made me feel emotionally lighter. Highly recommend - 10/10."

  • The decision to begin therapy is based on several factors, such as the impact of the issues on your quality of life, financial constraints, other commitments in your life, and a readiness to make the changes you would like to see.
  • Most people begin to see relief from their symptoms within 6-8 sessions; however, this will vary according to your issues and any barriers you may face that hinder your progress. Each person’s goals, treatment plan and recovery will be unique to them, and we will assist you in managing your expectations of counselling by informing you about the process and being realistic in the possible benefits for you overall.
  • Please see our booking page. If you have any further questions regarding the benefits of counselling or when you feel it would be the right time for you to begin.

Should we 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:

  • New clients are asked to complete the intake questionnaire via the link provided at least 48 hours prior to your consultation appointment. At this stage we will assess suitability for online counselling to ensure we provide the best quality counselling experience.
  • Please ensure you have your appointment email from Coviu with details as how to access your session close at hand.
  • Launch the Coviu application and login a few minutes prior to the scheduled start time of your session.

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 “socially” 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.
