About Michelle

Michelle King is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with eight years' experience. She works with adolescents and adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, ADHD and major life changes. Michelle aims to offer calm, practical support for people who feel overwhelmed or unsure of their next steps.

She uses a person-centred way of working, which means sessions focus on what the individual brings that day. Conversations can be mostly talking-based, or include creative exercises and practical strategies when helpful. Michelle adapts the length of work to the situation, offering short or longer term counselling depending on need.

Michelle often looks at how past experiences affect present feelings and relationships. She offers gentle challenges and reflection to help people understand patterns and make different choices. This can be useful when coping with separation, family of origin issues, attachment concerns, or feelings of emptiness.

Her practice also pays attention to neurodivergence and communication difficulties, including autism and Asperger syndrome. Michelle supports people wrestling with caregiver stress, fertility concerns, first responder issues and identity questions such as gender dysphoria.

Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom. Michelle is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, noted as BACP, and works as both a practising counsellor and clinical supervisor. To begin, clients follow the site booking steps to match and schedule sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Michelle practises a person-centred approach that keeps the client's experience at the centre of each session. This means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the client clarify priorities and goals. It is useful for managing anxiety, loss and the uncertainty that follows separation.

She also draws on creative therapy methods alongside talking work. Creative methods can include drawing, role-play or other expressive tasks to help people access feelings that are hard to put into words. These techniques often help when emotional pain is difficult to name or when patterns feel stuck.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Michelle will work with the client to try different ways of working and adjust the focus over time. The aim is to match methods to the person's needs, goals and preferences rather than prescribing a single route up front.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or offering a way to work without being on camera. Registered and accredited professionals often use online work to reach people who need flexibility while keeping therapeutic aims central.
