Confidential Counselling for adults in Chatteris and Cambridgeshire
Michelle Cobb Counselling
About Michelle
Counselling can offer the space to better understand yourself and the changes you would like for your life.
My journey towards becoming a counsellor began through my own experience of personal therapy several years ago. Before training as a counsellor, I spent many years working in the hospitality industry, a fast-paced and demanding environment that taught me a great deal about people and the importance of support.
Like many people, I have experienced challenges including family pressures, bereavement, and difficult life experiences that at times left me feeling overwhelmed and unsure of myself.
My own experience of counselling was both inspiring and transformative, and it led me towards supporting others through their own challenges and difficulties.
Having sat on the client side myself, I understand how daunting taking that first step can feel. I aim to offer a warm, compassionate, and supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported at your own pace.
Compassionate counselling in a safe and supportive space
My Approach
Having experienced counselling myself, I understand how difficult it can feel to open up to someone new and talk about painful or vulnerable parts of your life.
My aim is to offer a calm, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you feel safe, heard, and accepted. Building a warm and trusting therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my work, allowing you the space to explore whatever may be troubling or concerning you at your own pace.
My approach is client-led, meaning you remain in control of what you choose to bring to sessions. Together, we can explore your thoughts, feelings, experiences, and challenges in a way that helps you gain greater understanding, self-awareness, and clarity.
I work primarily using a Person-Centred approach, believing that every person has the capacity for growth, healing, and positive change when given the right support and environment.
Alongside counselling, I may gently introduce grounding techniques, coping strategies, or psychoeducation where I feel these may support you in your journey.
Qualifications & Experience
I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and have completed additional training in Cruse Bereavement Support and supporting survivors of childhood sexual abuse. I am also a trained and registered SandStory therapist and counsellor.
I am an accredited member of the National Counselling Society and am committed to working safely, ethically, and professionally within my practice. I also undertake regular supervision and continued professional development to ensure I provide the best possible support to my clients.
I have experience supporting people through bereavement, anxiety, low self-worth, relationship difficulties, emotional distress, and periods of uncertainty or change.
Reaching out for support can feel daunting, but it is often the first step towards understanding yourself more deeply and creating meaningful change in your life
