Ms Michelle McQuillan

Psychotherapist

“BACP qualified, Person Centered Counsellor and Psychotherapist in Private Practice in Coatbridge. I can help you to help yourself. Also offering EMDR.”

About Me

In my Coatbridge practice, I offer a non-judgmental space for you to explore thoughts and feelings. As a Person-Centred Psychotherapist, I guide you to discover your inner strengths and resources. We work collaboratively, helping you to make sense of challenges and find your own path forward. This approach suits those ready to actively engage in their personal growth and build lasting self-reliance.

Approach

You can expect sessions that move at your pace, where I listen openly and offer gentle prompts and EMDR when memories feel stuck. Work takes place in my Coatbridge practice or via secure online sessions in English, with practical steps between appointments when useful. We explore how past hurts, loss or addictive patterns shape choices now, using reflective dialogue, paced processing and simple strategies to build tolerance and clarity. This way of working suits adults facing trauma, grief, anxiety or life transitions who want to strengthen their own resources.
