Michaela Duffy

Michaela Duffy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety and life changes. She works with people dealing with relationships, family tensions, low self-esteem and depression. Her approach is straightforward and centred on each person’s strengths and goals.

Michaela believes clients are the experts on their own lives. She focuses on building a respectful working relationship where people can talk through what feels hardest. Her style is calm and person-focused, aiming to make sessions simple and useful.

Over three years of professional experience have given her practical exposure to common concerns. She has supported people with parenting strain, career worries and coping after major changes. She also works with attention difficulties such as ADHD and problems like panic attacks.

Her clinical approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy. That means she listens closely, helps spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and looks at past experiences that keep repeating in the present.

Michaela describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people set clear goals and takes small, manageable steps towards them. Her aim is to support people in finding more balance and clearer direction.

Practical matters are handled simply. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients begin by completing a short questionnaire and then scheduling according to availability.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Michaela uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core ways of working. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship and helping people find their own answers through open listening and reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thinking patterns and behaviours that keep problems going and offers practical exercises to change them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michaela will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that suit their situation. Decisions about methods and pacing are made collaboratively as the therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around daily life and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule short check-ins on busy days and to join from different locations.
