Michelle Player (she/her)

Clinical Psychologist

B.A. (Psy)(Hons) M.A. (Clin. Psych.)


Michelle is a highly experienced psychologist of nearly thirty years who enjoys working with clients of all ages and backgrounds. She has particular expertise in working with clients who have complex or long standing issues such as complex trauma, emotion regulation difficulties, addictions and complicated grief. Michelle brings warmth and authenticity to her practice and strives to ensure that the therapeutic work that clients engage in is always collaborative and well supported.

“It's such a privilege to be able to support my clients and provide them with avenues to change. I especially love those times when my clients experience a "light bulb" moment; I can see their face and posture change when issues they have been struggling with suddenly make more sense to them and they can see a way forward that will be positive for them. It's incredible to be part of that!   ”
