About Michala

Michala Cherry is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has six years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and other life challenges. Michala aims to make the first step feel manageable and steady for anyone who is nervous about starting therapy.

She focuses on creating an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings.

Background and approach

Sessions are calm and straightforward, with time to explore what matters most to the individual. Conversations move at a pace set by the client so they feel heard and understood. Michala works with a wide range of concerns, including relationship strain, anger, addictions, eating and sleeping issues, low self-esteem, career stresses, bipolar and depression, and ADHD.

She also supports people facing parenting pressures, intimacy-related worries and compassion fatigue. Her approach is practical and collaborative. Michala helps people identify small changes that make daily life easier, and she checks in on what is and isn’t working.

If needed she will discuss different ways of working so the client can choose what fits them best. Sessions are offered in English and available to international clients. Michala encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready and will work with them to set clear, achievable goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Michala uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical strategies and emotional processing. One approach helps people manage distressing thoughts and anxiety by teaching skills for coping, facing difficult feelings step by step, and changing unhelpful patterns of behaviour. This work can be useful for stress, panic and ongoing worry.

Another common strand involves processing traumatic memories and the emotions that follow trauma and abuse. This approach helps people make sense of painful events, reduce their intensity over time, and rebuild a sense of control in daily life. It is also used when supporting grief and loss.

Choosing the right way of working is part of the process. Michala will talk through options with each person and together they will decide which approach best fits the client’s needs, goals and preferences. The plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses so it stays relevant and useful.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is helpful when visual connection matters, phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or busy family life while keeping the focus on steady progress.
