Michaela Kendall, BACP

Michaela Kendall is a United Kingdom based therapist who brings a thoughtful, compassionate approach to work with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, family conflict, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, and other life transitions. With four years of professional experience and membership in the BACP - the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists - she blends practical support with sensitive, person-focused care.

She creates a therapy space that is tailored to each person's needs, meeting clients where they are and adapting methods to suit individual goals and preferences. Michaela emphasizes respect and empathy, aiming to provide a calmer pace amid life’s demands so clients can pause, reflect, and begin to make changes.

She encourages the first step toward help, acknowledging how difficult it can be to reach out and how that courage can start to ease feelings of loneliness and isolation. Over time, Michaela supports people in developing clearer self-understanding, easing emotional weight, and building skills to manage difficult situations. She approaches her work with a commitment to support and empower clients throughout their journey toward greater well-being.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Michaela draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current emotions and interpersonal dynamics; this approach can help when patterns of closeness or distance cause ongoing distress. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people and couples identify and shift intense emotional responses and improve connection, which can be especially useful for relationship and intimacy concerns. In work with trauma, she incorporates Trauma-Focused Therapy principles to address the effects of traumatic experiences and support gradual recovery and coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michaela works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She will discuss options, adapt strategies over time, and involve clients in decisions about pacing and focus.

Online therapy with Michaela offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or access support from home. These options allow for consistent contact and varied ways to communicate, helping people engage in therapy in the format that feels most comfortable and practical for them.
