About Michelle
Michelle Beard is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years’ experience. She works with people experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and identity questions among other concerns. Sessions focus on practical conversation and real-life coping strategies.
She helps people talk through emotional pain, difficult decisions and ongoing stress. Michelle draws on client-centred work to prioritise the person’s views and goals. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot thought patterns that make problems worse.
Mindfulness exercises are offered to reduce overthinking and improve sleep and concentration. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants to change habits or address addictions and ambivalence. These methods are described plainly and used together to fit each person’s needs.
Michelle commonly supports people with LGBT matters, grief, trauma and relationship challenges. She also works with issues such as eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, career concerns and ADHD-related difficulties. Additional focuses include blended family issues, commitment problems, infidelity, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.
Practical steps are a feature of sessions. Conversations often include setting small goals, trying simple behavioural experiments, and noticing what helps day to day. International clients may take part, and sessions are conducted in English. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first meeting.

How Michelle uses talking therapies online
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s concerns at the centre of the work. It means the therapist listens closely and follows what feels most important to the client. This approach helps when someone needs a chance to make sense of emotions or life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings and actions. It involves practical steps such as testing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural experiments. This approach is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and patterns that keep causing difficulty. Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods best match a person’s goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps and what does not. The biography did not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people connect from a different location or when in another country, while focusing on practical skills and conversation rather than paperwork.Sheet 3
