About Michelle
My clients aren’t short on confidence. They’re running a pattern that’s kept them safe for decades — over-functioning, fixing, making themselves the person no one can do without. It works. Right up until it doesn’t.
I help them see the pattern, unhook their worth from it, and lead from something steadier than being needed.
“She helped me better understand the patterns I’ve experienced throughout my professional journey — habits and ways of thinking I developed early in my career — and encouraged me to step beyond those limiting beliefs to embrace the leader I am and aspire to become. We reframed challenges as opportunities and requests, and built a framework to assess where I am today and clarify where I want to go next.”
Who I work with
You’re the one everyone leans on. No one’s asked what you need in years — including you.
You’ve read the books, done the courses, had the pep talks. None of them touched the thing actually running the show.
You’re ready for the seat, the promotion, the visibility. Some part of you keeps making sure you don’t quite get it.
“Working with Michelle was the honest exhale I desperately needed. I was stuck in job rejections, my career goals slipping out of reach. She helped me see what was really holding me back — and gave me practical tools I could actually use. I got my confidence back and landed the exact role I wanted, after just a few sessions.”
The Unhooked Method
My coaching is direct, supportive, and grounded. We cut through the noise, get honest about what’s holding you back, and create a path that feels aligned and sustainable.
We find the pattern underneath the story — the belief or identity quietly running the show. No fixing yet. Just honesty.
You separate your worth from being needed. This is the part that actually changes things — not insight, unhooking.
You build the steadiness to keep the change when old pressure comes back — because it will.
You walk into rooms, conversations, decisions as yourself. Not the reliable one. You.
“Michelle’s simple and exploratory approach enabled me to SEE myself — in the context of my growth at work, but also looking at myself as a whole, as a colleague, a boss, a mum. Four sessions in, I felt championed, found, applied, and secured the first role that had excited me in years. Not magic. Amazing coach.”
