About Michelle
Michelle McGee is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She helps people who are carrying heavy feelings such as stress, anxiety, grief and relationship strain. She also supports those dealing with family conflict, depression, LGBTQ matters, trauma and issues around intimacy and parenting.
Michelle keeps conversation direct and practical. She listens for the specific patterns that make guilt and shame feel constant. Sessions look at how those feelings affect daily choices, relationships and self-esteem. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide that work rather than relying on theory alone.
In practice Michelle helps people name what they are feeling and try small changes to test whether things shift. She talks through relationship and communication problems, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics and the strain of caregiving. She also supports people facing major life changes such as divorce, fertility struggles, cancer, hospice care or bereavement.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Michelle and the person she works with set goals and check progress over time. Practical coping strategies and focused conversations are used to reduce the hold of guilt and shame and to build clearer ways of deciding and relating.
Sessions are conducted in English. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Michelle uses practical, evidence-based techniques to focus conversations on present problems and workable changes. Cognitive-style approaches look at the thoughts that keep guilt and shame active and help people try different ways of thinking and responding. Short behavioural tasks and goal-focused work help test whether new actions reduce unhelpful patterns and improve day-to-day functioning.She also draws on attachment-informed ideas to understand how early relationship patterns shape current trust, intimacy and conflict. That perspective helps clients see recurring reactions in relationships and practice different communication choices in real time with guidance. Figuring out which approach fits is part of the work, and Michelle works collaboratively to match methods to each person’s needs and preferences.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Registered and accredited professionals commonly offer sessions in different formats for practical reasons. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around caregiving, appointments and work, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Michelle will discuss the best format for your goals when you complete the short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session.
