Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new patterns. Attachment-based ideas are brought in when relationships and early experiences shape current difficulties. Michele describes herself as neurodivergent-affirming and works in the United Kingdom.
She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and she also accepts international clients. Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, addictions, LGBT issues, anger and coping with chronic health problems.

Appointments are available online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Michele uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.

How Michele's approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. ACT can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns in thoughts and behaviours and trying small experiments to change them, useful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions, and can be helpful when trust or closeness is difficult.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Michele will work together with each person to choose what fits their needs and goals. She listens to what matters most, explains different options, and adapts methods over time rather than sticking to one fixed plan.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls let people use gestures and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, notes between sessions, and written reflections for those who prefer typing. These formats make it easier to arrange regular contact and to carry on when life circumstances change.
