About Muriel
Muriel Tafts is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years post-qualification experience. She works mainly with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, career concerns, and coping with life changes.
Muriel trained with a Foundation Degree in Integrated Counselling that covered person-centred, cognitive behavioural therapy and psychodynamic approaches. She also has additional training in areas such as the neuroscience of ADHD and ASD, dementia, addiction, depression, and psychosis. She is currently studying for an MSc in Workplace Health and Wellbeing.
Her day-to-day work focuses on helping people name and understand their thoughts, feelings and behaviour patterns. She encourages curiosity about how patterns form and what keeps problems going. Muriel aims to identify root causes while also working toward practical, solution-focused steps clients can try between sessions.
In the first few sessions she and the client agree clear counselling goals. Progress is reviewed about every four weeks so plans can be adjusted. This gives structure for people who want measurable steps as well as space to reflect.
Muriel offers information about psychological conditions and suggests exercises or tasks to practise outside sessions. She supports people who are struggling with issues such as perfectionism, OCD tendencies, low mood, self-harm history and workplace stress. Her approach combines listening with practical suggestions to help people move forward.

How therapeutic approaches are used in remote sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding of the client's experience. It helps people who need a space to talk through feelings and make sense of their own thoughts. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and stress. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past relationships and patterns influence current feelings and behaviour and can help people understand recurring difficulties.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. That decision can change as therapy progresses and will be reviewed regularly to ensure the work remains relevant.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, shorten travel time and allow quieter or shorter check-ins when needed. Registered and accredited professionals use these approaches to deliver talk-based work and practical exercises that can be completed between meetings.
