FAQs

Yes! I see clients in Huddersfield town centre and in Slaithwaite village, as well as outdoors in Huddersfield and surrounding areas. 

Yes, my office in Huddersfield town centre is wheelchair accessible. For outdoor work, we will meet at Beaumont Park or other preferred locations with accessible paths and seating areas.

I work from the social model of disability framework. If there are tools that best support your sensory and movement needs during sessions, we can use our first meeting to explore what adaptations may help us together, whether on screen or in-person. You may fidget, stim, take breaks, and move freely. Accommodations are routine, not exceptions.

You will receive a Zoom link and reminder prior to each session to join our private meeting room at your scheduled appointment time.

This is very common and completely okay. Working somatically is one of the options we have together, but we can work from other approaches that don’t require you to “tune into the body”. If you are interested in somatic work, but it feels mysterious, you can also rest in knowing that somatic therapy doesn’t require you to instantly feel “in tune” with your body or sensations. We move at your pace, with full respect for your boundaries and your way of understanding yourself. If you’re neurodivergent, have sensory sensitivities, or have had negative experiences with body-based practices in the past, our work can be tailored to what does feel supportive and accessible for you.

50-minute sessions are £110, and 80-minute sessions, including initial assessments, are £160. You’re welcome to enquire about reduced fee availability.

After our work together has been established, you may find that you’d like to transition to fortnightly or monthly check-ins. At the beginning of the work, however, I always work on a weekly basis so we can assess the fit of therapy together.

You can book through my online scheduler here. If you don’t see a time that works for you, send me an email at michelle@michellegoldsmiththerapy.com.

I kindly ask that you let me know by email at least 72 hours before your scheduled session. With this amount of notice, there is no charge for any changes. If you are travelling and we rearrange or skip your regular appointment time, I will hold your usual time slot for up to 3 weeks.
