Create meaningful change.


Welcome to Blue Wren Therapy
We all experience challenging times in our lives. Times when we feel, stuck and overwhelmed with feelings of inadequacy, hopelessness, fear, stress, anger, bordome and sadness (just to name a few). These feelings are often triggered by conflict, loss or change or a sign and change is needed.
The wren is said to arrive in your life to guide you through tough times. Wrens assist in helping you to accept and adapt to change and seek out greater experience and meaning in your life. Blue Wren Therapy endeavours to be the wren who supports, inspires and motivates you to work through these challenging times and create the changes you want to see.
Blue Wren Therapy is an inclusive practice that welcomes and embraces diversity. Our services include individual Counselling/Coaching, Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) and Cinical Supervision (ACA).


About Michelle
I am a registered Counsellor (Level 4) and Counselling Supervisor with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA). I hold a Bachelor and Diploma of Counselling and a Graduate Diploma in Grief and Loss Counselling. I have worked in private practice since 2017, starting as an associate of Life Connect Counselling before spreading my wings and creating Blue Wren Therapy at the start of 2020. Blue Wren Therapy originated in Armidale, followed by a migration north to Townsville in January 2023.
My goal is to help you get unstuck so you can start living the life you want to live. To do this we use a combination of counselling and coaching. In the counselling space we reflect on why and how you became stuck. Once we have a greater understanding of the issue we can switch into coaching mode where we decide what change will look like and how we are going to get you there. This involves setting your goals and activating your unique strengths and resources to help you achieve them.
Want to get to know me better before you commit? My blog is a great place to get a feel for if I’m the right fit for you. You can read it here.
