About Michelle
Michelle Caleb is a person-centred counsellor who uses an empathetic, accepting style to help people find their own strengths. She works in the United Kingdom and draws on six years of practice supporting people with common life challenges. Sessions are tailored to what each person needs most in the moment.
Michelle helps with stress, anxiety and depression, and she supports people coping with addictions and grief. She also works with issues around relationships, self-esteem, body image and intimacy.
Background and approach
People looking for help with career shifts, life changes or ADHD concerns may also find her practical approach useful. Her person-centred way means sessions focus on listening without judgement. Michelle aims to create a calm space where people can talk through feelings and find their own solutions.
She believes empathy and acceptance help people access inner resources for change. In practice she adapts each session to the person’s priorities. That can mean spending time on exploring emotions, reflecting on relationship patterns or setting small goals to move forward.
Solution-focused ideas are sometimes used to agree on practical next steps. Michelle also uses mindfulness techniques to help people manage stress and stay present during difficult moments. Her work combines gentle, attentive listening with clear, simple strategies people can try between sessions.
This keeps therapy grounded and directly useful.

Ways of working Michelle names
Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.
How these approaches work online
Client-centred counselling focuses on genuine listening and acceptance so people can explore their feelings and make their own choices. Online sessions give the same space to talk and reflect, while the counsellor follows the person's lead and tailors each session to their needs.Mindfulness work teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and ground emotions. When used online these techniques can be demonstrated in session and practised between meetings to help with anxiety, coping and staying present.
Solution-focused ideas concentrate on small, practical steps and clear goals. In an online setting these can translate into short action plans to try between sessions, which are then revisited and adjusted together.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the person to decide which combination of listening, mindfulness and solution-focused strategies suits their goals and preferences. That discussion usually starts in the first few sessions and can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are close to face-to-face and allow visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on meaningful progress.
