About Michelle
Michelle Dunne is a Person-Centred counsellor and a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has three years' experience and lists stress, anxiety, family conflict, grief and depression among the concerns she works with.
Michelle prioritises listening and clear feedback. Sessions are focused on what the person brings and on making sense of difficult feelings. She uses a client-centred style that places the person's experience at the heart of the work.
Her background includes roles dealing with crisis, trauma and sudden bereavement. That experience informs how she supports people through grief and loss. Michelle says having time to grieve with someone alongside you can allow movement and gradual healing.
Michelle identifies as a late-diagnosed autistic woman and notes she enjoys working with neurodivergent people and diverse lifestyles. She also mentions experience supporting people with same-sex and heterosexual relationship issues and step-parenting concerns.
She lists client-centred therapy and motivational interviewing among her approaches. These methods are used to help people talk through choices, shifts in behaviour and emotional responses. Sessions aim to help people clarify what matters to them and to consider small changes that feel manageable.
Outside work she enjoys walking, travelling and spending time with her three dogs. To start the process she asks people to use the site matching and booking flow so a first session can be scheduled.
How her approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on active listening and giving people space to describe their thoughts and feelings. Online sessions using this approach are often about being heard and reflecting on what matters most to the client, which can help with anxiety, grief and relationship concerns.Motivational Interviewing supports practical change by exploring a person's own reasons for wanting to change and building small, achievable steps. Online conversations can use this method to help with habits, addiction-related goals, career decisions and coping strategies.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then adapt the style over time so it fits the client's needs.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit counselling around work and family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly offer a range of practical arrangements to suit different schedules and everyday life.
