About Michele
BACP. 4 years' experience. Michele Kavanagh is an integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She helps people who are coping with life changes, grief, relationship and intimacy-related problems, and issues such as sleeping difficulties and anger.
Her practice combines several approaches to suit different concerns. Michele uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She draws on client-centred ways of working to keep sessions focused on what the person brings. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when practical steps and patterns of thinking need attention.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and conversational. Michele listens for what matters to each person and reflects that back so they feel understood. She encourages practical work on skills like managing anxiety, improving communication, and sleep routines when relevant.
Michele has four years of counselling experience and lists trauma-focused and psychodynamic approaches among her methods, which can be part of longer-term exploration when needed. Her additional focus areas include caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and challenges around guilt, forgiveness and life purpose.
Sessions are offered in English and Michele does not accept international clients at this time. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches used in online counselling with Michele
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current feelings and reactions. It can help when trust, intimacy or repeated relational problems are causing distress.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they feel understood. This approach suits people who want a conversational space to clarify feelings and make decisions.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and replacing them with practical strategies. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michele will discuss options with each person and agree an approach based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as things progress.
