Ms Michelle Courtney
Neuropsychologist
“Accepting and compassionate integrative therapist, with a specialist interest in mindfulness.(MCBT) Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)”
About Me
As an integrative therapist, I offer a compassionate space to explore your experiences. My work deeply incorporates mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I help clients navigate challenging thoughts and feelings, fostering acceptance. We'll connect with your values, building practical ways to live more fully. This approach suits those seeking to reduce stress. We can find inner resilience by embracing present moment awareness.
Approach
Sessions move with calm focus — brief grounding practices, attentive listening and collaborative planning that help acceptance inform everyday choices. I offer appointments in Knysna and online, primarily in English, with a steady pace and clear, achievable steps between sessions. Work often blends short experiential exercises, reflective dialogue and practical behavioural experiments to reduce avoidance, stabilise mood and rebuild routines around your values. This way of working tends to suit people navigating addiction, chronic illness, relationship strain or career transitions who want mindful, practical change.
