Background and approach

Michelle also supports people dealing with grief, life changes, workplace pressures and parenting strains. She pays attention to attachment and body image concerns when these come up. Michelle draws on a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioural ideas, emotionally-focused and psychodynamic perspectives, plus mindfulness and solution-focused techniques.

That mix lets her match tools to what each person needs in the moment. She holds BACP registration, which is listed as her professional credential. Michelle has four years of experience working in the United Kingdom, helping people talk through panic, midlife struggles, and pressures from caregiving and work.

Sessions are practical and collaborative. Michelle aims to help people build skills, make clearer decisions, and develop healthier ways to cope with the stressors in their lives.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions, focusing on listening, empathy and acceptance so people can speak freely and explore their feelings. This approach helps when someone needs space to be heard and to build self-understanding.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It can help reduce anxiety, panic and stress by teaching coping skills and clearer thinking strategies.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and process strong emotions and improve how they connect with others. It is useful for relationship stresses and for understanding attachment patterns that affect daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and together decide which combination of methods fits best. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel. Video calls let people use visual cues during conversation, phone sessions work well when internet is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or when typing helps expression. These options help people stay consistent with therapy while balancing other commitments.
