About Michele
Michele has experience helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship difficulties, address anger and motivation concerns, and build self-esteem and confidence. She prioritizes listening in a way that goes beyond simply hearing words, seeking to understand each client’s experience and perspective with compassion and acceptance.
In sessions she cultivates a safe, open space where clients are encouraged to speak freely and be seen without judgment. Taking the first step into therapy often requires courage, and Michele acknowledges and supports that decision as part of the healing process. She will work collaboratively with clients to explore their world and support practical and emotional change. Michele holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to professional standards in counselling.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. It helps people understand emotional bonds, improve trust and connection, and address difficulties in relationships that arise from those patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an accepting, non-directive stance in which the therapist offers empathic understanding and unconditional positive regard - this approach supports self-exploration, self-esteem, and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, structured approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for stress, anxiety, low mood, and coping with everyday challenges.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Michele will work collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on individual needs, goals, and preferences. The process is guided by conversation, shared decision making, and periodic review to ensure the approach remains helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend regularly around work, caregiving, or other commitments and enable continuity of care when in-person meetings are impractical. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these formats to provide meaningful, focused support that fits a client's life.
