I was referred to Aspire with anxiety linked to workplace stress, combined with infertility problems in my personal life. I found their rounded approach worked really well, combining concrete, practical advice on stress management with a thoughtful exploration of the underlying behaviours and beliefs contributing to my issues. The sessions enabled me to gain a better understanding of myself, which really helped me to overcome the anxiety. Even more importantly, they gave me a toolkit for managing similar situations and looking after myself for life.

I would highly recommend this course to many people I know who are in similar mind frames. Michaela is most helpful and made me feel so comfortable. She is a credit to the profession

Michaela is an excellent facilator and explained and demonstrated every aspect of the course in an easy, informative manner. I really liked the roleplays. I would highly recommend this course

I met with Michaela because I had been struggling to control my anger and had been flying off the handle at the smallest of things and I sought Michaela’s advice for anger management.  I found Michaela’s advice extremely helpful.  She was non-judgmental, listened thoroughly and gave straightforward logical advice in a very objective and honest way.  She pointed out ways I could manage my anger better that worked. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Michaela to someone else in similar position.

I want to thank Michaela, who taught me to own my true self and my imperfections too. Thank you for helping me to learn how to say no and empower me to just try.

I came to Aspire Counselling searching for help with my panic attacks and Anxiousness. With the help of the techniques given to me and talking through my life I was able to understand what was prompting my anxiety and how to reduce it significantly. I learned that if I was to change my thinking of a situation it would change how I felt in that situation too. I came out feeling a lot more confident about my abilities and a lot calmer. I would definitely recommend Aspire Counselling to anyone who is seeking help in this area.

After years of trying to please so many people. I now have learned phrases and skills to help me stand up for myself and for what I believe, I liked the delivery and presentation broken up into different parts and found the setting very comfortable and safe

Wonderful relaxed class environment open for development and improvement. Michaela your teaching is clear, helpful, concsise, honest and thorough. I look forward to implementing what I learned in my personal and professional life Thankyou

Michaela has a knack at helping you get to the real issue fast and in a non jundgemental and secure environment. I was quickly able to move through my issues on two separate occasions. I still use the techniques taught to me.
