You understand your patterns.
Now you’re ready to change them.
Mental health-informed coaching for self-aware adults who understand their patterns—but still struggle to change them.
A compassionate, integrative approach to change.
My name is Michelle Ribeiro. I help self-aware adults understand the patterns shaping their emotions, relationships, and choices—and begin responding with greater clarity, self-trust, and intention.
I am a Canadian-based, mental health-informed coach, currently completing a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and working toward Registered Psychotherapist (RP) and Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) designations.
My approach brings together psychological insight, practical coaching strategies, compassionate accountability, and mind-body awareness.
Who is mental health-informed coaching for?
Perhaps you grew up learning to stay small, keep the peace, remain alert, or take care of everyone else. Those patterns may now show up as overthinking, emotional overwhelm, people-pleasing, self-criticism, or difficulty knowing what you truly need.
Together, we can explore your current patterns, clarify what you want to change, and develop realistic ways of moving forward.
You may benefit from coaching if you:
Understand yourself well but struggle to respond differently
Want practical tools, reflection, and accountability
Feel ready to experiment with new skills and behaviours
Are seeking present-focused support rather than clinical treatment
Disclaimer: Coaching is a non-clinical service. It is not psychotherapy, diagnosis, crisis care, or mental health treatment. Coaching and therapy can both involve meaningful, supportive conversations, but they serve different purposes. The right option depends on what you are experiencing and the kind of support you need.
