About Michele

Michele Attias is a BACP counsellor with 20 years' experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and life changes. She works in English and Spanish and aims to create a calm, understanding space where clients feel heard. Michele mixes practical steps with reflective conversation to help people move forward.

Her work draws on several approaches so sessions are shaped around each person's needs. She uses Trauma-Focused methods alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred listening to help people reconnect with their values and make manageable changes.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioural techniques are used where thinking patterns and behaviours need direct attention. Michele describes her style as caring, energetic and sensitive. She helps people set small goals, make clearer decisions and take practical actions without becoming overwhelmed.

This can improve concentration, time management and overall energy for daily life. Sessions can focus on short-term problem solving or longer-term personal work depending on what someone wants. Michele also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and career concerns.

She accepts international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Michele also works with people affected by abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism spectrum concerns and a range of personality-related difficulties.

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

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process distressing memories and reactions. Online sessions let the therapist work at a person's pace to reduce overwhelm, build coping skills and address triggers through conversation and targeted exercises.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts while committing to actions that match their values. Remotely, Michele can guide simple values-based exercises and practical steps to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences, and can adapt the plan as progress is made.

Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls bring face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send messages between sessions and fit brief reflections into a busy day. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and schedules.
