Background and approach

She draws on attachment-focused and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that affect relationships and self-worth. She also uses client-centred and trauma-focused methods to help people process painful events and build coping skills. Common concerns she helps with include family problems, grief, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and a wide range of anxiety issues.

She also works with matters such as abandonment, attachment issues, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Practical topics like infidelity, divorce and fatherhood issues are also within her experience. Sessions are offered in English and Michelle accepts international clients.

Conversations can be adapted to short check-ins or longer therapeutic work depending on what someone needs. She encourages people to take small steps toward change and offers steady support along the way. People who choose to work with Michelle will find a calm, patient counsellor who helps them understand their experiences and plan manageable next steps.

She focuses on what feels most useful to each person and adjusts the approach as therapy progresses.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasises how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in relationships and work on new ways of relating to others and themselves. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and helping a person find their own solutions. In remote sessions this often looks like reflective conversation, practical problem-solving and encouragement to try small changes between meetings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide what feels most helpful. That might mean starting with supportive, client-centred conversations, then adding trauma-focused tools or looking at attachment patterns as therapy progresses. The plan is shaped collaboratively and adjusted as needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual connection matters, phone calls suit lower bandwidth or hands-free conversations, and messaging fits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping sessions consistent and accessible.
