Trying to feel better on your own can be overwhelming…🌪️
From the outside, life might look okay, but inside, something doesn’t feel right. If you feel disconnected and unsure, like there must be more to life than just surviving. You are not alone…
So many people feel stuck and exhausted from trying to manage it all on their own. But it doesn’t have to stay this way.
Hi, I’m Michela 🙋♀️
I’m a registered Drama Therapist (M.A) with over 8 years of experience helping professionals, students, and expats feel more equipped to handle life’s challenges. In my online therapy sessions, I use creative psychotherapy to help you practice and experience real change.
After my own experience of trauma and emotional shutdown, I discovered how powerful creative tools can be in the therapy journey.
Now, through my Drama Therapy work, I help others unpack what is beneath the surface and practice new ways of showing up in their lives.

What Clients Are Saying

The best choice ever!
Michela is amazing. She has a really friendly, warm, and comforting feeling when you first start, which is super important for people like me who struggle with anxiety and have struggled with talking about it.
I was struggling a lot with grief and mental health issues. Now my emotional state has changed. She's taken me from highly depressed thinking to slowing down and re-analysing the situation.
She listens intently and remembers the little details. It's like my mind can think clearly again after a session because she provides a direction that you can go in.

You can’t do better. Period.
Everything has changed. I feel better equipped to handle anything that life throws my way.
I no longer feel that helplessness that I can’t do something. I have had fights with friends and family that in the past would send me down the rabbit hole. However, now I feel more confident in my ability to deal with things and compartmentalize without letting things consume me.
I had never had a completely non judgmental and safe space to feel my feelings, whether they were right or wrong. Michela provided that space for me to learn about myself again.

The girls loved it!
Michela offered such a wholesome session. The girls loved it and they felt calm and centred after the session. The girls had never experienced drama therapy and this was such an amazing workshop for them to feel connected to themselves and each other. We will definitely have Michela back to run more workshops for us at Kingsmead.

I understand myself better
When I started working with Michela, I was struggling with depressive thoughts and feeling overwhelmed.
Since working with her, I feel like I understand myself better and am making strides in my mental health and other aspects of my life.
Michela is very kind and patient and works hard to understand and provide insight into issues unique to you.
The experience has been very calming, fun, and insightful.
