About Michaela

Michaela Probert is a counsellor who helps people feeling low, overwhelmed, or unsure what is wrong. She welcomes straightforward conversations and aims to create a calm space to talk through whatever is worrying you. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental, and she focuses on practical ways to move forward.

Michaela holds BACP registration, which appears after her name as BACP. She has five years of experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, anger, sleep problems and the pressures of parenting or work changes. In sessions she uses a mix of approaches informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas, attachment work and client-centred listening. That means she combines talking, noticing patterns of thinking and feeling, and practising new ways of responding to difficult moments.

Michaela aims to help people find small, achievable changes that fit their life. She also works with people who are exploring identity and LGBT questions, ADHD, body image, attachment or neurodiversity concerns, and complex family or adoption-related histories. Michaela pays attention to how past losses, abandonment or disrupted attachments can shape current relationships and wellbeing.

Michaela offers sessions from the United Kingdom in English. She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

Ways of working Michaela names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Michaela draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, low mood and the stress of life changes because it focuses on small steps that matter.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach helps when relationship difficulties, abandonment or adoption histories affect trust and intimacy. It aims to make sense of emotional reactions and to practice safer ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michaela will discuss different options and help decide what fits your needs, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may change as sessions progress.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions suit longer therapeutic conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat is useful for shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
