About Michelle

Michelle King is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who meets people where they are. She offers one-to-one sessions for adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, ADHD and big life changes. Her manner is warm and down-to-earth, and she aims to help people feel heard and clearer about next steps.

She tailors each session to the individual. Conversations can be short term or longer, depending on what the person needs.

Background and approach

Sessions include talking therapy, some creative techniques, and practical strategies to manage difficult feelings and situations. Michelle uses a person-centred approach, which means the conversation follows what matters most to the client. Alongside that, she may gently challenge unhelpful patterns and look at how past experiences shape present behaviour.

This combination is intended to help people understand themselves better and find ways to move forward. Her work also addresses issues linked to attachment, abandonment and family of origin concerns. She supports people facing relationship communication problems, separation or divorce, caregiver stress, and identity questions such as gender dysphoria.

Michelle has eight years of clinical experience and is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English for people in the United Kingdom and does not take international clients. The style is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping someone manage their next steps more confidently.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Michelle offers a person-centred way of working, where sessions follow what matters most to the client and the counsellor responds with empathy and practical focus. This approach helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about next steps by creating space to talk and reflect.

She also uses creative therapy alongside talking therapies. Creative methods might include drawing or other non-verbal tools to help express feelings that are hard to put into words, which can be useful for processing trauma or complex emotions. In addition, she incorporates strategy-based work to build concrete coping tools for anxiety, stress and everyday challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to decide which mix of talking, creative exercises and practical strategies suits their goals and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see body language and build rapport, while phone sessions can be a simpler option if bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messages allow brief check-ins or written reflection when a full session is not possible. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family life and other commitments.
