About Michelle

Michelle King is a BACP counsellor with eight years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, coping with life changes and ADHD, and she also helps people address related issues such as attachment and abandonment concerns.

She offers one-to-one counselling and can work for shorter or longer periods depending on what someone needs. Sessions combine talking, practical strategies and creative approaches when useful. Michelle focuses on the topics a person brings and responds with respectful challenges and practical feedback.

Her person-centred roots mean sessions are guided by the client's priorities. That may involve looking at past experiences to see how they affect current behaviour and relationships. The aim is clearer understanding rather than quick fixes.

Michelle also brings experience with neurodivergence, family of origin issues, caregiver stress, and difficulties such as dissociation, control issues and feelings of emptiness. She works with people managing separation, fertility-related stress, first responder pressures and gender dysphoria related concerns.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with costs that vary by location. Those interested are asked to use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. International clients are not currently accepted.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can fit

Michelle's practice is rooted in person-centred work, which centres the client's priorities and uses listening and responsive feedback to help clarify feelings and choices. This approach suits people who need to be heard and want a counsellor who follows what matters most to them.

She also uses talking therapies combined with strategy-based techniques. Talking work addresses emotions and past experiences, while strategy-based techniques focus on practical steps for managing symptoms like anxiety, stress or difficulties with attention. Creative methods are offered when they help someone express things words alone do not capture.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michelle will work collaboratively to decide whether a person benefits most from reflective person-centred sessions, practical strategies, creative exercises, or a mix. That choice will depend on the client's needs, goals and preferred way of working.

The original biography does not list specific online formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and remove travel time. Some people prefer not being on camera at every session, while others find video helps maintain connection; these practical choices can be discussed when arranging appointments.
