About Michelle
Michelle Saunders is a counsellor with six years of counselling experience and an NCPS credential. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, low mood or relationship strain. Her approach is straightforward and focused on helping clients take practical steps forward.
Michelle draws on a background in health care to inform how she listens and responds. She has worked in a range of clinical settings and brings that breadth of experience into conversations about coping, motivation and wellbeing.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be calm and non-judgemental so people can say what matters to them. Her work often centres on everyday problems that build up over time - issues like burnout, grief, body image concerns, and changing family roles.
She also helps with more specific struggles such as anger, eating and substance problems, attachment and abandonment worries, and fertility or fatherhood related stress. Michelle uses a collaborative style that encourages people to set practical goals. She supports clients to notice what is already working, try small changes, and build confidence.
She is comfortable using client-centred listening alongside motivational and solution-focused ways of working. Clients meet by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Sessions are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Michelle practices from the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English.
How her approaches fit with online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person's lead. It helps when someone needs acceptance and space to understand their feelings. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change and build internal motivation. It often suits worries about motivation, substance use, or making lifestyle changes. Solution-Focused Therapy looks at small, practical steps and what already works. It helps people set clear goals and try short experiments between sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then choose ways of working that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy here includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging which makes it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging options suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats help people access therapy from different locations across the United Kingdom and work well with the therapist's practical, goal-oriented approach.
