About Michele
Michele Attias is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 20 years of experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addiction and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and Michele also supports those dealing with work pressure, parenting strain, ADHD, body image and identity concerns.
Michele uses an integrative, client-centred style that mixes practical talking work with emotional reflection. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based work to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Conversations aim to make decision-making and taking action feel clearer and less overwhelming.
In sessions Michele focuses on what is getting in the way of daily functioning - for example sleep, concentration, time management or persistent overthinking. She offers short or longer-term options and adapts the pace to what each person needs. Her work includes coaching elements to support people to move from thought to action.
People come for help with guilt and shame connected to family, faith, relationships or past choices, and Michele helps them name and work through those feelings without judgement. She also assists with practical challenges like career decisions, caregiver stress and coping after loss.
Michele has written on self-directed change and brings that experience into her practice. To start she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to agree goals and next steps.
How Michele applies therapeutic approaches online
Michele draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small committed actions, often useful for anxiety, guilt and low motivation. She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns and emotional reactions, which can be helpful for intimacy and trust issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical experiments to change behaviour and mood.Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. Michele will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and decide together which approaches to try. She frames this as a collaborative process where methods are checked and adjusted as you go.
The practical aim of online work is to fit therapy into everyday life. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, use these options to help people progress without disrupting daily responsibilities.
