About Michelle

Michelle also supports those coping with cancer, caregiver stress, divorce and domestic violence aftermath. Work may include talking through difficult feelings, developing coping strategies and improving day-to-day routines.
Her approach is practical and person-centred; she listens and then suggests ways forward the client can try between sessions. Therapy may include focused short-term work or longer conversations depending on the issue and progress.

Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling fits
Michelle draws on evidence-based approaches that focus on practical change and clearer thinking. One common method helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test alternative ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. This approach is useful for stress, worry and depression.Another approach emphasises patterns in relationships and attachment, looking at how early experiences shape current reactions. It can help with relationship problems, intimacy issues and attachment-related concerns by clarifying patterns and trying new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will discuss how each method might suit the person’s needs, goals and preferences and will agree a plan together. That means the choice of technique can change as therapy progresses and as different issues arise.
If you are considering online counselling, confirm the current session options before booking. The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments around work or family commitments, saving travel time and making it easier to have shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss format and timing when booking so sessions fit everyday life and your schedule.
