About Michele
Michele Findley offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or grief. She speaks plainly and listens closely so clients can say what matters. Michele aims to make early sessions straightforward and approachable for someone finding therapy on a phone.
She uses a mix of well established approaches to help people manage difficult thoughts and intense emotions. Sessions often focus on learning small, practical skills for day-to-day coping and on spotting unhelpful patterns in thinking and behaviour.
Background and approach
Michele also helps clients explore how past experiences shape current reactions and relationships. With seven years of experience, Michele works with a broad range of concerns including depression, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, compassion fatigue and bipolar difficulties. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues, as well as career strain and parenting pressures.
Additional areas of focus include attachment issues, adoption and foster care, chronic illness and body image. Michele is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP, and practises in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients when that suits the person seeking help.
People can expect a respectful, non-judgemental space where Michele adapts her pace to the individual. She works collaboratively, helping clients set goals and choose techniques that fit their life and values.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michele will discuss goals and preferences and try different ways of working until there is a good fit. This is a collaborative process where the person and the therapist decide which methods feel most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, making therapy easier to fit around school, work and caring duties. Video is useful for face-to-face contact, phone can suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions or check in without an appointment. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care while juggling daily life.
