Michelle Martin is a counsellor and social worker based in Batemans Bay, NSW. She works from Coastal Therapy Collective at Telehealth Consultation, Batemans Bay NSW 2536, so you can access support in person or over video, depending on what suits you.
Michelle helps people when life feels a bit too heavy. That can be about your own mental health, stress, and big changes that leave you feeling stuck. She also looks after families who are trying to make things work at home, especially when communication has broken down or everyone is running on empty.
In many cases, sessions focus on what’s happening right now and what you need next. At times, that means talking through emotions, working out coping ideas, or sorting out patterns that keep showing up. If things are urgent, she can provide crisis support so you’re not dealing with it alone while you work out safer next steps.
Michelle offers individual counselling, family therapy sessions, and support groups. Individual sessions are a place to slow down and be honest about what you’re facing. Family work is different. It gives everyone a chance to be heard, and it helps families find ways to talk and relate that feel more realistic for everyday life.
She also does mental health assessments. These are useful when you’re not sure what’s going on, or when you want help putting words to your concerns so you can plan the next steps with clearer direction.
Over time, Michelle’s approach stays practical and calm. People often come in feeling overwhelmed, ashamed, or worn out, and she tries to keep things steady from the start. Sessions are structured enough to give you a sense of progress, but not so rigid that it doesn’t feel human.
If you’re looking for support in the Batemans Bay area, including through telehealth, Michelle Martin at Coastal Therapy Collective can be a good place to begin. The goal is simple: help you understand what’s happening, find support that fits, and make life feel more manageable again.
