About Michelle

Michelle Taylor offers person-centred counselling that keeps the client in control. She works at a pace chosen by the person seeking support and adapts sessions for short-term or longer-term needs. Michelle is based in the United Kingdom and draws on 11 years of experience to guide conversations with warmth and respect.

She focuses on common problems such as stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also helps people facing relationship strain, intimacy concerns, addictions, and challenges linked to eating or sleeping.

Background and approach

Additional areas of focus include trauma and abuse, panic and self-harm, and life changes like divorce and bereavement. Michelle uses a client-centred approach that prioritises listening and understanding. Sessions aim to build trust without judgement so people can talk through difficult memories and strong feelings.

The emphasis is on helping individuals make sense of their experience and discover practical ways to cope. Her work often involves supporting people through complex issues such as domestic violence, sexual assault, and longstanding attachment wounds. She also offers help with parenting stress, career worries, bipolar challenges and ADHD-related concerns.

Each plan is shaped around what the person wants to achieve. People can expect a calm, empathetic space to explore what matters most to them. Michelle draws on over a decade of practice to offer steady support while people find clearer ways forward and rebuild confidence in daily life.

Ways of working Michelle names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Client-centred care through online sessions

Michelle works mainly from a client-centred perspective, which means listening carefully and following the pace the person sets. This approach helps when someone needs a non-judgemental space to talk about stress, anxiety, grief or relationship worries and to discover their own coping steps.

She applies client-centred principles to trauma-informed concerns as well, focusing on empathy and building trust before tackling difficult memories. That approach can help people dealing with domestic or sexual abuse, panic attacks, addiction or complex life changes to feel more able to talk things through.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work together. The therapist discusses goals and preferences and helps shape the sessions to match needs. This is a collaborative process where the person’s voice guides the plan.

Online sessions come in several formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging - so people can choose what suits their routine. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier with lower bandwidth, brief text check-ins suit busy days, and chat can work for those who prefer typing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and other commitments.
