About Michala
Michala Cherry is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with a BACP registration and six years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety and the aftermath of trauma. Michala aims to create a calm space where clients can speak freely and feel heard.
She encourages small steps rather than big leaps. Michala works alongside clients to identify what feels most pressing and builds practical ways to manage day-to-day challenges.
Background and approach
She offers straightforward tools for coping with panic, intrusive thoughts, low mood and the shock that follows upsetting events. Mental health often affects sleep, appetite and close relationships, so sessions look at those everyday patterns. Michala can help people notice unhelpful habits and try new routines that feel doable.
She also supports clients dealing with grief, anger, relationship strains, addictions and issues around identity and intimacy. Her approach is collaborative and down to earth. Michala listens first, then suggests strategies that fit each person’s life.
She pays attention to how work, parenting and career pressures shape wellbeing and tailors the pace of therapy accordingly. People can expect clear session goals and practical follow-up ideas between meetings. Michala welcomes international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs.
Therapeutic techniques and online care
Many evidence-based techniques focus on changing thoughts, calming the body and building healthier routines. One common approach helps people notice anxious or negative thinking and then try small experiments to test those thoughts. This can reduce worry and make decisions feel clearer. Another useful method teaches simple breathing and grounding exercises to lower arousal during panic or flashbacks, which helps people regain control in the moment.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest which techniques to try first. Together you will review what helps and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits your life and what you want to change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial cues and use screen tools during sessions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflections and ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
