About Michaela
Michaela Probert is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or low. She listens without judgement and offers a calm space to talk through what is happening. Her style is warm and straightforward so people can feel heard and start to make small changes.
Michaela uses a mix of approaches to fit each person. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and client-centred work to help people notice unhelpful patterns and practise new ways of coping.
Background and approach
She also brings ideas from attachment-based and Jungian perspectives when that seems useful. Sessions tend to be conversational and practical. Clients can expect to explore what matters to them, try simple exercises, and set small goals to test between meetings.
The aim is clearer thinking and more useful choices rather than labels or complex theory. She has five years of counselling experience and is associated with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Michaela works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship issues, parenting stress, ADHD and body image.
Michaela offers online sessions by video, phone, live chat and text messaging. People in the United Kingdom can complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and then schedule sessions to suit them. The first steps are simple and paced to the person’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling and support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and move toward what matters to them. It uses simple exercises to build psychological flexibility and can assist with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. It uses practical tasks and short experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can be useful for stress, sleep difficulties and low mood.
Client-centred therapy prioritises the person’s own experience. The counsellor offers empathic listening and gentle reflection so clients feel understood and can access their own resources for change.
Michaela sees finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then tailor techniques from different methods. That collaborative process helps identify what feels most helpful for the individual.
Online work is offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging to give flexibility. Video sessions let people use body language and facial cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, while live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer not to use a camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
