About Michele

Michele Attias is a BACP counsellor with 20 years of experience. She works in English and Spanish and helps people with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and life changes, among other concerns.

Michele offers a client-centred approach that draws on several evidence-informed methods. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. She aims to help people who feel overwhelmed, overthinking, or burned out make clearer decisions and take manageable actions.

Her work covers a wide range of issues including relationship and intimacy questions, parenting strain, addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, and work or career stress. She also addresses attachment-related concerns and identity matters such as LGBT issues. Michele lists additional focuses such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, and body image.

Michele uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Attachment-Based and Client-Centred methods. In practice this means mixing conversation, reflection and specific exercises to build new habits and reduce unhelpful thinking patterns.

People who choose her often want practical help with concentration, time management and reducing overwhelm. She offers both shorter and longer-term work depending on what someone prefers. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How Michele’s approaches translate to online work

Michele uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred methods. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and make value-based choices rather than getting stuck in avoidance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and provides concrete exercises to change patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele will discuss goals and preferences with each person and choose or combine methods collaboratively. That means sessions can focus on small practical steps one week and on relational patterns or emotional processing the next.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings into a busy day and keeping continuity when travel is difficult. Because session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm the exact options before booking. Many people find online appointments make it easier to keep regular meetings and to try short or longer blocks of work without rearranging their whole routine.
