About Michelle

Michelle Lindsay is a counsellor who draws on Person-Centred and Existential approaches to help people facing difficult life moments. She is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Michelle works online using video, phone, chat and messaging and also has experience in community and independent practice settings.

She helps people with common concerns such as stress, anxiety and low mood. She also supports those coping with trauma, relationship strain, parenting pressures and career worries.

Background and approach

Michelle is experienced in assisting clients with identity matters including LGBT and gender dysphoria related issues. Her style is straightforward and relational. Sessions focus on listening, understanding what has led someone to seek help, and identifying practical next steps.

She treats each person as an individual and builds the work around their needs and preferences. Michelle brings four years of counselling experience working with people on a wide range of issues. Additional focuses include ADHD, grief, intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, abandonment and family of origin problems.

She may integrate ideas from other approaches when these suit the person’s goals. People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through what matters to them. Michelle aims to help people uncover strengths, make clearer decisions and find manageable ways to move forward.

Getting started involves a few simple steps to match with her and arrange sessions that fit the client’s schedule.

How Person-Centred and Existential approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard without judgement and on the therapist offering empathy and acceptance. It is helpful for people who want time to make sense of their feelings and to build confidence in their own choices.

Existential Therapy looks at the big questions people face about meaning, responsibility and change. It can help when someone feels stuck, empty or unsure about life direction and wants to explore values and personal freedom.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adapted as needs become clearer.

Online therapy using video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video is useful for a fuller conversational experience, phone calls work well when internet bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These options give flexibility for different routines and practical needs.
