About Michelle
Michelle King is a BACP counsellor with 17 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, stress and low mood. She uses straightforward conversation and practical steps to help clients feel steadier. She aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion.
Michelle keeps things focused on what matters now and next. Her work blends attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening. That means she pays attention to how early relationships shape current reactions, while letting the person set the pace of therapy.
Background and approach
She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Mindfulness and some skills from dialectical behaviour therapy are used where they fit the problem. Michelle helps people who are dealing with trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem or life changes such as separation.
She also supports those struggling with body image, guilt, isolation and midlife questions. Sessions are tailored around the person’s needs and goals rather than a fixed script. Her approach is practical and conversational.
Expect to talk about patterns, try small experiments between sessions, and learn ways to cope in day-to-day life. Progress may include clearer boundaries, fewer overwhelming emotions, and steadier routines. To begin, Michelle asks people to complete a short questionnaire so she can match her approach to their situation.
From there, sessions are scheduled by mutual agreement.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle will talk through goals and preferences during early sessions and suggest which methods might suit each concern. The plan can be adapted over time as needs change, and the person is involved in every step.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls provide face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer typing or need flexible, ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and other daily demands.
