Ms Michele Greville

Michele Greville is an integrative therapist with over 20 years of extensive experience in the mental health and addiction fields. Her therapeutic approach is rooted in the belief that therapy provides a unique opportunity for individuals to develop an honest self-awareness in their relationships with others. Michele employs an integrated approach to help clients reconnect with their true selves, especially those who have adapted to fit into environments or families that failed to meet their needs.

Drawing from transactional analysis, particularly Eric Berne's concepts of the parent, adult, and child, Michele focuses on reaching and healing the inner child. She assists clients in addressing past wounds by helping them recognise and fulfil their unmet needs from the past, thereby fostering healing in the present.

Michele is a qualified therapist and supervisor with a broad range of experience. She has worked in the NHS, voluntary sector, and private practice, gaining significant expertise through her roles with Mind, a leading mental health charity in the UK. She has also worked extensively with young people at Off the Record, Bristol Children's Hospital, and as a school counsellor.

Her primary areas of interest include helping individuals recover from trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), particularly those with a history of addiction or mental health challenges. Michele also supervises students and practitioners working with both young people and adults dealing with mental health and addiction issues.

Since December 2021, Michele has been working at Priory Hospital Bristol as an integrative therapist. She is involved with both the addiction therapy and general psychiatry teams, providing both group and one-to-one therapy. Michele is a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and is in the process of applying for accreditation.

Michele's training includes counselling and psychotherapy at Bristol University, with additional training in working with children and adults who have experienced trauma and addiction. She utilises a range of approaches, including transactional analysis, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and play therapy.
