About Michelle
Michelle Reid brings ten years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family concerns, low self-esteem and adjusting to life changes. Michelle writes simply and listens closely, helping people to name their problems and work towards clearer choices.
She sees each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. Michelle helps people break big problems into small steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Her work covers attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, commitment and control issues, and challenges linked to autism or avoidant and dependent personality styles. She also supports people dealing with body image, chronic illness or pain, and the fallout from separation, divorce or domestic violence. Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to each person’s needs and pace.
She adapts her approach to focus on coping skills, emotional regulation and clearer relationships. The aim is to leave people with tools they can use day to day. Sessions can suit people who want short-term help for a defined problem or those who prefer a longer process of change.
She combines gentle challenge with practical steps, and helps people track progress as they go.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, try a way of working, and adjust the approach based on what helps. This means sessions can be brief and focused or more exploratory, depending on what the person needs and prefers.
Online formats make those choices easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, jotting down ideas, or keeping progress between meetings. These options give flexibility for different schedules, energy levels and practical constraints while keeping therapy consistent and goal-focused.
