About Michele
Michele Kavanagh is a BACP counsellor who focuses on practical support for stress and anxiety. She offers calm, non-judgemental listening and aims to help people feel understood. Michele encourages small steps and clear goals so clients can build confidence over time.
Michele uses an integrative style that draws on several approaches. She listens first, then works with each person to choose tools that fit their situation. Sessions often include talking through thoughts and patterns, and trying simple techniques that can be used between meetings.
Background and approach
Common concerns she addresses include low self-esteem, relationship and communication problems, grief, trauma and compassion fatigue. Michele also helps with sleep difficulties, anger and life changes such as divorce or career shifts. She pays attention to how past attachments shape current reactions and relationships.
In sessions Michele aims to create a steady, accepting space where people can speak honestly. She values compassionate curiosity and encourages reflection alongside practical coping strategies. Clients are invited to set the pace and focus on what matters most to them.
Michele has four years of professional experience and holds BACP, the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists credential. She works with adults in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
How Michele’s approaches translate to online therapy
Michele draws on client-centred principles to prioritise listening and respect in each session. This approach focuses on understanding the person’s experience and pacing sessions around their needs, which can help when discussing stress, self-esteem or relationship concerns.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviours and provides simple strategies to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. CBT exercises can be explained in a session and practised between meetings, making them well suited to online formats.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele will discuss different methods and choose what fits the person’s goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as work progresses.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel without needing to be in a specific location.
