About Michelle
Michelle McAllister is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She supports people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or low self-esteem. She also helps with relationship strains and coping with grief and loss.
Her way of working is straightforward and respectful. She listens carefully and adapts conversations to each person's needs. Together they identify small, practical steps that fit into everyday life.
Background and approach
Michelle uses talking approaches that aim to understand current problems and their roots. She draws on techniques that look at thinking patterns, explore personal history, and focus on practical solutions to immediate concerns. This mix helps with worries, doubts and repeating patterns that get in the way.
She pays attention to issues like abandonment, attachment, body image and communication problems. Michelle also supports people dealing with chronic illness or pain, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt or shame. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual.
She encourages clients to set realistic goals and to notice small changes. The emphasis is on building confidence, clearer thinking and coping skills that can be used day to day.
How Michelle’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding your experience and reflecting it back so you feel heard and clearer about what you want. This approach helps when someone needs a safe space to talk through feelings and make decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT is useful for tackling worries, building new habits and managing symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will choose which methods to try. That means the plan can change as needs shift, and sessions stay focused on what helps most in daily life.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes regular support easier to fit in. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller exchange is needed. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is required. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, journalling between sessions or people who prefer typing. These options help keep therapy consistent while fitting into work, care duties and other commitments.
