About Michelle
Michelle King is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with eight years' experience helping people facing anxiety, stress and major life changes. She offers one-to-one counselling in ways that suit each person's situation. People often come when they feel overwhelmed by grief, trauma, uncertainty or the day-to-day strain of living, and she focuses on practical, compassionate support.
Her work is shaped by a person-centred way of working. That means sessions begin with what matters most to the client and follow their pace.
Background and approach
Conversations can be straightforward talking, creative exercises, or more strategy-based planning depending on what helps. Michelle also pays attention to how earlier experiences affect current patterns. Where useful, she gently looks at attachment, abandonment or family of origin issues to understand repeated difficulties.
She can support people dealing with neurodivergence, ADHD or the complex feelings that come with fertility, separation and caregiving stress. Sessions can address dissociation, control and communication problems as well as first responder stress and gender dysphoria concerns. The focus is on helping people make sense of their feelings, try practical changes and build steady coping skills.
Michelle is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works with adults in the United Kingdom. She offers short or longer term counselling depending on what each person needs.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Person-centred therapy focuses on the person's own concerns and priorities. Online sessions start with what the client wants to work on and follow their pace, using talking or creative prompts to help people make sense of feelings and choices. This approach is useful for anxiety, grief and life changes where being heard is the main priority.Creative and strategy-based techniques are used alongside talking. Creative exercises might include drawing or metaphors to clarify emotions, while strategy work looks at small, practical steps to manage stress and ADHD-related challenges. Both approaches aim to turn awareness into doable actions for everyday life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with the client and adjust methods based on needs, goals and what feels comfortable. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays relevant and helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging helps people who prefer written reflection or flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life and to continue work across different days and settings.
