About Michelle

Michelle Sewell is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach and other practical methods to help people through difficult times. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationships and self-esteem. Michelle speaks English and practises in the United Kingdom, and she holds registration with BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions usually focus on what matters most to the client right now, whether that is managing panic, coping with grief, or sorting out relationship and parenting stresses.

Background and approach

She blends talking therapy with techniques from cognitive behavioural and mindfulness work to make change feel manageable. Michelle has four years of professional experience and draws on that background when helping people navigate life transitions. She pays attention to how past experiences shape current feelings and reactions, especially around attachment or control issues.

This helps people understand recurring patterns and try different ways of responding. Practical tools are offered alongside reflective conversation. For example, she may introduce steps to manage anxiety or simple mindfulness exercises to reduce overwhelm.

Clients decide the pace and focus, and sessions often centre on small, doable changes that build over time. People come to her for many concerns including workplace stress, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and body image worries. Michelle also supports those facing separation, midlife questions, pregnancy and childbirth related stress, and grieving losses.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room and on creating a non-judgemental space where someone can talk and be heard. This approach helps when people want to make sense of feelings, explore identity, or simply be listened to without pressure.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, panic and stress because it gives clear tools to try between sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding emotions and repairing connection where losses or relationship strain have caused distance. It can help with intimacy-related stresses and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different methods and agree a plan together. This collaborative process means the way you work can change if something else seems a better fit.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different needs. Video lets you use visual cues, phone can be useful if bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
