Michelle Sewell

Michelle Sewell is a counsellor who works in an integrative way, matching her approach to what each person needs. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through difficult moments and to reflect on life. Michelle emphasises working together so change happens with the client, not done to them.

Michelle uses talking therapies to help people who feel stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed by life changes. She draws on methods that help with practical coping and with understanding patterns that come from the past. Sessions aim to help people make clearer choices and build everyday strategies for stress and anxiety.

Her background includes four years of professional experience in therapeutic work. During that time she has supported people with relationship strain, parenting worries, grief, compassion fatigue and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Divorce and separation are also listed among her focus areas.

Michelle holds BACP, which identifies her as registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.

She offers an approachable style that mixes short-term practical tools with deeper, reflective work. People are invited to shape the focus of sessions, whether they want solution-focused steps or to explore earlier life patterns. The collaborative tone aims to help clients move forward at a pace that suits them.

How Michelle’s approaches translate to online work

Michelle often draws on client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for exploring feelings, building self-worth and discussing difficult life choices.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and supplies practical steps to reduce anxiety and manage stress. CBT is helpful when someone wants concrete tools to change day-to-day patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will talk with the client about goals and preferences and decide together which methods feel most helpful. That collaborative decision may shift over time as needs change.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks, or offering quieter surroundings when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques such as mindfulness exercises, CBT tasks and emotionally focused conversations to an online setting, while keeping the session focused on what you want to achieve.
