Evidence-Based Care That Fits Online Life
Michelle Serisier works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques, guided by a trauma-informed, strengths-based, person-centred style. Trauma-informed care helps clients move at a pace that feels manageable, with attention to how past experiences can influence stress, anxiety, relationships, and day-to-day coping. Strengths-based therapy focuses on identifying what is already helping - personal values, skills, and supports - and using those strengths to navigate challenges such as parenting pressures, relationship strain, or the effects of trauma and abuse. A person-centred approach emphasises collaboration and respect, making space for clients to explore their story and goals in a way that feels genuine and grounded.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michelle works alongside clients to clarify what they want from therapy and what feels most helpful, adjusting the focus as needs, preferences, and goals become clearer over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to stay consistent with support, fit sessions around a busy schedule, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable from one week to the next.
