About Li Michelle

Michelle is a compassionate and empathetic counsellor who takes the time to listen and understand the underlying problems her clients face. With a deep commitment to helping both individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges, Michelle specialises in relationship counselling, with a particular focus on supporting multicultural couples and those from the LGBTQ+ community.

Michelle is a Masters of Couples Counselling student in her final year of study at Swinburne University and Relationships Australia. Fluent in both English and Mandarin, Michelle brings a unique ability to support clients from diverse backgrounds. She understands the complexities that can arise from cultural differences and life transitions and uses her expertise to guide clients toward greater understanding, acceptance, and connection in their relationships.

In her sessions with couples, Michelle treats the relationship as the central client, helping partners align their goals and deepen their emotional connection. For individual clients, she provides a safe and non-judgmental space to explore personal challenges, fostering self-awareness, resilience, and emotional well-being.

With over a decade of study and practice in Tibetan Buddhist philosophy and meditation, Michelle integrates mindfulness and compassion into her work. She aims to help both individuals and couples achieve lasting change, build emotional resilience, and find greater peace in their lives.

More about Li Michelle

What is the most satisfying and fulfilling part of the work you do?

I find great joy in helping individuals and couples navigate through their challenges and emerge stronger, more connected, and more resilient. The process of guiding clients to uncover deeper insights about themselves and their relationships, and empowering them to make lasting changes, is incredibly rewarding. It’s the moments when clients achieve breakthroughs in understanding or resolve longstanding issues that truly make my work meaningful.

What’s an example of a couple you have helped the most?

One of the most impactful cases involved a couple who were struggling with communication and cultural differences. Both partners came from distinct cultural backgrounds, which often led to misunderstandings and conflict. Through our sessions, we explored their individual expectations, values, and communication styles. By fostering a deeper understanding and respect for each other’s cultural perspectives, they were able to rebuild trust and strengthen their relationship. The couple improved their communication and developed a more harmonious and supportive partnership.
