About Michelle

Michelle King is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of practice. She offers one-to-one psychotherapeutic counselling for adolescents and adults. Her main areas include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, coping with life changes and ADHD.

Michelle works with people who are facing distress, loss, or uncertainty about their next steps. Sessions can be short term or longer term depending on what someone needs. She uses a person-centred approach and also brings creative methods and strategy-based work into conversations.

In sessions she follows what the client brings. That might be talking through recent events, using creative tasks, or trying practical strategies to manage feelings and day-to-day demands. She also looks at past experiences when these seem to affect current behaviour and relationships.

Michelle has experience supporting people with self-harm, neurodivergence, and the emotional effects of trauma and bereavement. She also works with issues linked to attachment, abandonment, dissociation, blended family and family of origin problems, and fertility or caregiver stress.

Clients can expect respectful challenges alongside listening and reflection. The aim is clearer understanding of patterns and more workable ways of coping. To begin, people choose the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Her primary method is person-centred work, which focuses on listening, reflecting and following what the client brings. This approach helps when someone needs to clarify feelings, talk through difficult events, or make sense of anxious thoughts.

She also uses creative techniques alongside talking therapy. Creative methods can include drawing, writing or other expressive tasks to help people access feelings that are hard to put into words. Strategy-based work provides practical tools and small steps to manage stress, anxiety and daily routines.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will help identify whether person-centred listening, creative tasks or strategy work seems most useful and adjust the plan as sessions progress.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises for remote sessions and agree practical arrangements with each client.
