About Michelle
Michelle Saunders is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating issues and compassion fatigue.
She uses Client-Centred Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy. In sessions she aims to listen and respond to what matters to each person. The emphasis is on clear, practical conversations about feelings, choices and next steps.
Her background includes long experience working in health care settings, from nurseries to A&E and intensive care. That work is part of the experience she draws on when clients bring medical or caregiver stress into sessions. She has also supported people living with type 1 diabetes alongside emotional concerns.
Michelle works with people facing relationship and attachment issues such as abandonment, communication problems, commitment worries and separation. She also addresses body image, eating and food-related problems, substance concerns, fatherhood issues and fertility-related stress.
Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and on small, steady steps. Conversations may cover coping strategies, motivation and problem-solving. The goal is to keep work practical and relevant to daily life.

How her approaches shape online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs to talk through feelings and be heard without direction from the counsellor. Motivational Interviewing aims to uncover a persons own reasons for change and build motivation one step at a time. It suits issues where commitment and behaviour change are central. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes that move things forward quickly.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try, based on their goals and what feels most useful. That collaboration includes reviewing progress and adapting the approach over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow quieter surroundings, fewer technical demands for low-bandwidth calls, or sessions that do not require being on camera depending on the chosen format. Registered or accredited professionals use these approaches to keep sessions focused on practical change and emotional understanding.
