Reflections of a Black Swann Consultancy
Encouragement, Enhancement, Empowerment
Michelle Swann; BA, MSc. Creative Mentor, Anxiety Coach, Healer, Author & Artist.
We all have times in our lives when we are presented with challenges that can knock us completely off of our course, and with the world having changed so dramatically over the last few years, sometimes we need help getting back on track or finding a completely new direction. I can help you.
With various methods that can be tailored to your needs and individuality, I can help you find your feet again.


My Services
I offer reflective, non-clinical mentoring for adults who feel lost, overwhelmed, or uncertain after trauma, abuse, or significant life change. My work supports people to slow things down, make sense of their experiences, and regain clarity, self-trust, and a sense of direction.
This mentoring is structured and time-limited, typically offered over six sessions. It is designed to provide a contained, reflective space where patterns can be explored, perspectives clarified, and next steps identified — without pressure, fixing, or rescue. The emphasis is on helping people reconnect with their own insight and agency, rather than being told what to do.
My approach is trauma-aware, grounded, and practical. I draw on both academic understanding and lived experience, while maintaining clear ethical boundaries. This work is not therapy, counselling, or crisis support, and I do not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Where appropriate, I encourage and support people to access other forms of professional or clinical help alongside mentoring.
I hold a BA in Social Science and a Master’s degree in Psychology, and I have extensive experience supporting individuals and families navigating complex systems, long-term stress, and recovery from abusive or destabilising environments. I work independently, dbs checked, and insured.
This work may be suitable for people who:
feel stuck or disconnected from themselves
are emerging from trauma or prolonged stress
want space to think, reflect, and orient themselves
are seeking clarity and direction rather than ongoing emotional support
It may not be suitable for those in immediate crisis, requiring intensive therapeutic intervention, or seeking advocacy or representation.
At its core, this mentoring is about creating space for understanding and self-trust to return, so that change can happen in a way that is sustainable and self-led.
