Bring Joy to your Life

Experience meaningful change with personalised support—whether through talk therapy to address emotional challenges and limiting behaviours, or acupuncture to restore balance, supporting both physical and psycho-emotional wellbeing.

Michelle Hammond

Musings from Michelle

“For over 30 years, I’ve been exploring what it truly means to live a healthy, balanced life. Along the way, I’ve discovered that it’s the small, purposeful steps – taken with conscious connection – that leads to meaningful, positive, and lasting change.

Life can feel like a rollercoaster, and navigating its ups and downs was never meant to be done alone. Too often, people face significant physical or emotional challenges in isolation, feeling overwhelmed, and lost. But it doesn’t have to be that way. With a blend of talk therapy and acupuncture, I offer the support and guidance needed to find balance, clarity, and healing—no matter where you are in your journey.

Ways to work with Michelle

Talking Therapy

We all hit bumps in the road and sometimes need a helping hand to move forward.

I pride myself on offering a safe and supportive space to help you navigate obstacles, break through what’s holding you back, and move past what’s keeping you stuck—so you can create meaningful change.

Integrative health workshops

Traditional Chinese Medicine

Are you struggling with chronic disease, pain, fatigue, sleep issues, anxiety, burnout, PTSD, period pain, or debilitating hormone imbalances?

With over 30 years of experience in complementary therapy, I blend the timeless wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Five Elements acupuncture with a compassionate, personalised, and intuitive approach to every treatment.

Wellness workshops

Wellness Workshops

Many of us thrive when we can approach our health and wellbeing with a sense of play and connection.

That’s why I’ve created a range of community-based wellness workshops and masterclasses—designed to be fun, inclusive, and accessible, where we can come together, learn, make, play, and enjoy the process.

What people say…

Evelyn B.

“I love working with Michelle her energy, passion and ability to make people feel comfortable and at ease talking about even the most challenging subjects is inspiring”.

John G.

“I reached out to Michelle when my business was failing, and I felt paralysed in how to get myself out of the whole I had got myself in. Now not only can I breathe again, my business has also taken a new lease of life and I feel great.”

Kathy C.

“I first heard about Michelle’s work with tpot so I reached out for guidance as I was crippled with anxiety when first diagnosed with cancer. Michelle not only helped me to manage the anxiety and panic. She has been instrumental in the relationship I now have with my oncology team, my family, and my self”

More about Talking Therapies and how they could help you…

Personalised Talk Led Therapy

BWRT

BWRT

Brain Working Recursive Therapy® – is a new model of psychology and psychopathology that fits comfortably with current thinking on neuroscience.

Developed by the highly acclaimed Terence Watts. This technique works extremely effectively with anxiety, phobias, fear, OCD, PTSD, success inhibition, fear of failure, performance anxiety and more, and negates the need to delve deep into the details of past or painful experiences as might be necessary with some other forms of talk therapy.

Clinical hypnotherapy

Clinical Hypnotherapy 

Hypnotherapy uses guided hypnosis to treat conditions or change habits. It is particularly good at supporting those with anxiety led issues, stress, phobias, and resistant habits that compromise health, comfort and social connection.

Hypnotherapy enables and empowers you to make meaningful change in a natural and relaxed way, using carefully curated scripts and personalised hypnotic suggestions this is a truly wonderful therapy for those that want to connect with their deepest sense of self.

Psychodynamic therapy

Everyone can benefit from psychodynamic therapy. Talking to a trained professional can enable you to explore concerns, thoughts, and feelings in a safe and non-judgemental space.

Psychodynamic therapy is a collaborative approach to talk therapy where we will work together to identify, reframe, and change thought and behaviour patterns that are keeping you from feeling and functioning at your best.

All Initial Talk Therapy Consultations are £40 for 45minutes. Consultations are fully redeemable against future sessions, when booked within 3 months. Course booking discounts are available.

Coaching

Coaching

Coaching is a truly dynamic and collaborative process that allows you to proactively reflect on and gain deep insight in to changes you want or need to see. Together we’ll explore the options and opportunities to bring about meaningful change, and curate a practical plan of action that moves you forward with focus and joy.

My coaching sessions can be carried out online, in-person at your place of work, at a third party location, or via my ‘on the move’ structured walking sessions in Wallingford to get you out in to the nurturing arms of nature.

TFT

TFT / EFT

Thought Field TherapyTM is an energy-based form of therapy designed to reduce symptoms of psychological distress by influencing how energy flows in the body through a sequence of tapping movements.

Tapping unblocks imbalances, increases focus, and reduces distress. I often use tapping in my integrative care programs to help clients feel settled, or to quickly eradicate disturbing images that have lodged themselves in the mind from things they’ve watched, news stories, nightmares, or traumatic experiences.

integrative talking therapy

When you’re feeling overwhelmed, it can be confusing to know which type of therapy or treatment will work best for you. That’s why I offer a range of integrative programs, combining tailored talk therapies and Traditional Chinese Medicine modalities, designed to bring about the best outcomes for you as quickly as possible.

Each program is uniquely personalised to your needs, carefully curated after our initial in-depth health and wellness consultation, where we’ll work together to find the right path forward.
