Michele Findley, BACP

Michele Findley is a neurodivergent-affirming, licensed therapist based in the United Kingdom with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties, and offers compassionate support during major life transitions and periods of uncertainty.

She is trained in EMDR - a therapy approach used to treat PTSD, complex trauma and abuse - and applies that method alongside other therapeutic tools when appropriate. Michele has supported clients dealing with grief, low self-worth, intrusive thoughts, addiction, anger, and trauma, as well as those managing long-term health conditions and unexplained illnesses.

Michele describes her practice as grounded in respect, sensitivity and genuine compassion. She tailors conversations and treatment plans to each individual, recognising that every person brings a unique history and set of needs. Her work often addresses intimacy and family dynamics, parenting challenges, eating and sleeping difficulties, and career or life-stage changes.

Michele holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings a calm, person-focused presence to therapy. She offers a supportive space for people to explore their experiences and to work toward clearer coping strategies, healing and personal growth.

Therapeutic approaches and how online therapy supports your progress

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate behaviour. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward a more meaningful life, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns that began in early relationships and how they affect current connections with others. It can help with relationship struggles, intimacy-related concerns and attachment issues by building understanding and more secure ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings and actions to develop practical strategies for managing depression, anxiety and unhelpful behaviour patterns. It often involves skill building and short-term, goal-focused work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michele works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions around work, family and daily life. These options increase accessibility for people in different locations and for those who prefer varied ways of communicating, while still allowing therapists to apply the same evidence-informed approaches used in face-to-face work.
