Michelle Taylor

Michelle Taylor is a person-centred counsellor who focuses on helping people find their own way forward. She keeps the pace and direction of therapy in the client's control and encourages people to lead the conversation about what matters to them.

She works with adults facing stress, anxiety and depression, and supports people dealing with relationship problems, grief and trauma. Additional areas of focus include addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and challenges such as ADHD and bipolar experience.

Her practice places emphasis on empathy and non-judgement. Sessions are used to build trust and to talk through painful or confusing experiences. The aim is to help people better understand their thoughts and feelings and to develop tools that support change.

Michelle has over 11 years of experience working with adults from a variety of backgrounds. Much of her work has involved domestic and sexual abuse and bereavement, and she is familiar with the complex feelings those issues can create.

She holds BACP registration, which is listed as her professional credential. People can expect a calm, respectful approach that lets them set the pace. Before starting, Michelle encourages a conversation to answer questions and to agree how therapy will proceed.

How client-centred work adapts to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the client's lead. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what is said, checks understanding, and supports the person to find their own solutions. This approach helps with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and the emotional aftermath of loss or abuse.

Because sessions are guided by the client's pace and priorities, the counsellor can adapt questions and pacing to fit remote work. Together the client and counsellor will decide how to manage sessions, review progress, and adjust the approach as needs change. That collaborative process helps ensure the therapy feels right for the person rather than being imposed.

Details about the precise session formats offered were not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a less formal setting for a first meeting. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use remote sessions to maintain regular contact and continuity of care while working with the client's goals and preferences.
