Based in South West Ireland, Michele is a practicing psychotherapist with over 20 years’ experience including 10 years’ experience in supervision.
Michele sees supervision as a dynamic process, focusing on creating a collaborative learning space, with the client at the centre. She brings a refreshing, creative approach, incorporating process work, art, movement, nature and humour.
She provides supervision to psychotherapists at different levels of experience; trainees, pre-accredited and experienced therapists, both in private practice and in groups for therapists in organisations.
In 2015 Michele undertook a research project “Keeping Psychotherapy Relevant to These Changing Times” which she presented at the IAHIP conference 2016, and subsequently other supervisory and therapy conferences.
This research has been a core motivation and has informed her practice. It is constantly evolving, tested and upgraded.
In 2018 she presented her paper on the complex role of the supervisor at the IAPOP conference in Dublin. Her talk was about holding the tension between legal and ethical requirements, staying in relationship and supporting each individual client and therapist.
She trained with Dublin Counselling & Therapy Centre as a psychotherapist. She later completed a Masters in Supervisory Practice with NUI, Milltown Institute, Dublin.
Michele maintains a private practice in Kenmare, Co Kerry, Ireland, her home for 30 years. Her work is supported by a daily meditation practice, time spent in nature, swimming, gardening and creative expression through art textiles.
