About Michelle

Michelle King is a BACP psychotherapeutic counsellor with eight years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, coping with life changes and ADHD, among other concerns. Michelle offers one-to-one counselling and supervises clinicians as part of her work.

She typically meets people who feel overwhelmed, stuck after a loss, or unsure about next steps. Sessions can be short term or longer, depending on what someone needs. Michelle uses person-centred counselling as the foundation of her work and brings in creative methods and practical strategies when helpful.

In sessions she listens without judgement and invites clients to set the agenda. Conversations may focus on current worries, practical coping steps, or memories from the past that affect present behaviour and relationships. Michelle also offers respectful challenges to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding.

Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, neurodivergence such as autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, communication problems, dissociation and fertility-related distress. She also supports people dealing with separation, family of origin problems, first responder issues and gender dysphoria.

Clients who choose her can expect straightforward, conversational sessions that mix talking, practical work and creative options when they suit. The structure and length of counselling are arranged to fit the persons situation and goals. To start, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial appointment.

How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions

Person-centred counselling focuses on listening, acceptance and following what the client brings to the room. Online, this means the counsellor aims to reflect back what is said and let the person lead the topics that matter most. Creative therapy brings non-verbal ways to work, such as drawing or structured exercises, which can be adapted for remote sessions and used to explore feelings or difficult memories.

Practical strategy-based work supports coping skills, routine building and step-by-step plans for specific problems like anxiety or managing change. These strategies are explained and practised together so the client can try them between meetings. Michelle will work collaboratively to decide which approaches suit the individual's needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method.

The original biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can help people fit therapy into busy lives by reducing travel time and making it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or regular sessions around work and caregiving. It also allows use of creative tools and worksheets in the same session so practical work can continue between appointments.
