About Muriel

Muriel Tafts is a counsellor with a Foundation Degree in Integrated Counselling and four years of post-qualification experience. She holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and works from the United Kingdom. Muriel focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, career matters, and coping with life changes.

Her style is warm and straightforward. She aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can speak freely.

Background and approach

Muriel encourages curiosity about thoughts, feelings and patterns that get in the way of daily life. She often suggests simple exercises to try between sessions. Muriel combines person-centred listening with tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and psychodynamic ideas about early patterns.

She uses those approaches to look at root causes and to build small, achievable changes. Goals are usually agreed within the first three sessions and reviewed about every four weeks. She has experience helping with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, and workplace stress.

Muriel also offers support around life purpose, midlife transitions, money worries, sexuality and women’s issues. Practicalities are straightforward. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Muriel uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and explains costs based on location and scheduling.

How Muriel's approaches work online

Muriel uses person-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy to help people make practical changes. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening closely and offering a non-judgemental space so people can make sense of their feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours and suggests small experiments or exercises to shift unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Muriel will discuss options with each person and decide together what feels most helpful for their goals and circumstances. This collaborative way means plans can be adjusted as progress is reviewed every few weeks.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth and time permit. Phone sessions can be useful for a shorter check-in or when video is not convenient. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or who need flexible timing. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family and other commitments.
