Integrative Psychotherapy Grounded in Empathy and Human Connection
Professional Profile | Yemi Michael
Integrative Psychotherapist | Registered Member MBACP
I am a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist with counselling experience and over six years’ experience supporting adults within health and social care.
​
This website currently serves as my professional profile. I am not accepting private clients at this time.

​
My Therapeutic Approach
My integrative approach is grounded in Person-Centred Therapy, Attachment Theory and Interpersonal Neurobiology, alongside trauma-informed practice. This framework helps me understand how relationships, life experiences, identity and present circumstances can influence emotional wellbeing.
I place empathy, authenticity and respect at the heart of therapeutic work. I believe effective therapy is collaborative, responsive to each person’s individuality, and held within clear ethical and professional boundaries.

An Integrative Approach
