Michelle - founder & Owner
Clinical Hypnotherapy and Strategic Psychotherapy
I truly believe that within every challenge lies a golden thread - an opportunity for growth, healing and transformation. Sometimes we simply need someone to help us find it
Hi, I'm Michelle, founder of Golden Thread Holistic Healing.
Like many people, I've experienced my own share of life's challenges. I know what it feels like to navigate difficult times, to question yourself, and to search for a way forward. Those experiences have given me not only compassion and empathy, but also a genuine understanding of how powerful healing and personal growth can be.My own journey inspired me to study Clinical Hypnotherapy and Strategic Psychotherapy so I could help others break free from the patterns that keep them feeling stuck and create meaningful, lasting change.
I believe lasting transformation doesn't come from endlessly reliving the past. Instead, I help you understand the unconscious patterns that are keeping you stuck today, then guide you in creating healthier, more empowering ways of thinking, feeling and responding.My approach is warm, compassionate and tailored to each individual. I provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to move towards the life you want.
Whether you're experiencing anxiety, stress, OCD, fears, low confidence, unwanted habits, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges, we'll work together to uncover your strengths and create lasting change.I truly believe that within every challenge lies a golden thread - an opportunity for growth, healing and transformation. Sometimes we simply need someone to help us find it.I would be honoured to walk alongside you on your journey towards healing, balance and a more fulfilling life.

what is hypnotherapy and strategic Psychotherapy?
What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a safe, natural and deeply relaxing therapeutic process that works with your subconscious mind - the part of your mind responsible for habits, emotions, beliefs and automatic behaviours.
Contrary to common myths, you remain aware and in control throughout the session. Hypnosis is simply a focused state of attention where your mind becomes more receptive to positive change.
Using guided relaxation and therapeutic techniques, hypnotherapy can help you:
Reduce anxiety and stress
Break unwanted habits
Build confidence and self-esteem
Overcome fears and phobias
Improve sleep
Manage intrusive thoughts
Create healthier behaviours and emotional responses
Rather than relying on willpower alone, hypnotherapy helps create change from the inside out by working with the unconscious patterns that drive your everyday life.
What is Strategic Psychotherapy?
Strategic Psychotherapy is a practical, solution-focused approach that helps uncover how a problem continues rather than spending months analysing why it started.
Together, we identify the unconscious patterns, behaviours and thinking styles that keep you feeling stuck. Once these patterns become clear, we develop practical strategies to interrupt them and replace them with healthier, more empowering responses.
This approach is collaborative, compassionate and future-focused. Every session is tailored to your individual needs and goals.
Strategic Psychotherapy can help with:
Anxiety and panic
Depression
OCD and intrusive thoughts
Stress and overwhelm
Trauma responses
Relationship challenges
Confidence and self-worth
Addictions and unwanted habits
Emotional regulation
Personal growth and resilience
When combined with Clinical Hypnotherapy, Strategic Psychotherapy offers a powerful approach that addresses both the conscious and subconscious mind - helping you create meaningful, lasting change.
