When anxiety feels overwhelming or confidence has taken a knock, it can be hard to find your balance. Perhaps old experiences still affect your daily life, or you notice yourself always being there for everyone else but rarely for yourself
I am Michele Hunt, an NCPS-accredited counsellor in Rickmansworth, and at Lavender Lane Counselling I offer counselling and EMDR therapy. My work is gentle, trauma-informed, and rooted in compassion. Whether you are seeking counselling in Rickmansworth or EMDR therapy for trauma and anxiety, my aim is to help you feel calmer, more confident, and more able to put yourself back into the picture.

How counselling and EMDR can help
Counselling offers you time to pause and reflect on what feels difficult. It can be a chance to step back from daily pressures, understand yourself more deeply, and make space for your own needs. Our sessions are guided by what feels right for you, never rushed and always respectful of your pace.
Alongside counselling in Rickmansworth, I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing). EMDR therapy is an evidence-based approach that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they lose their intensity. Many people find EMDR particularly helpful for trauma, anxiety, and panic, as well as memories that continue to feel raw even years later. EMDR therapy in Rickmansworth can bring relief from the weight of the past and open space for a calmer, steadier present.
Counselling and EMDR can support you with:
Anxiety and panic
Low self worth and confidence
Trauma and difficult past experiences
Stress, burnout, and emotional overwhelm
How I work
In both counselling and EMDR therapy, we move at your pace. You will never be rushed or asked to share more than feels comfortable. Clients often say the steady, compassionate relationship is what makes the real difference
