Michelle Adkins

I live on the Gold Coast, Queensland, have over 15 years of experience working as a holistic mental health therapist and am trained in multiple psychotherapeutic frameworks. I offer holistic psychotherapy specialising in a variety of mental health challenges, addictions, relationship issues, burnout and trauma recovery.

I don't believe in band-aids or "quick fixes" as healing is a journey, not a destination.  I'm passionate about helping you rewire thinking and habitual patterns, not just discussing them.

Whether you're drowning in anxiety or stuck in a toxic relationship, my clinic is your judgment-free safe space to heal, grow and become the person you always envisioned to be.

• Clear strategies (homework that works)
• No jargon (just real talk)
• Faster breakthroughs (most see shifts in 6-8 sessions)
