About Michele
Michele Findley is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and low self-worth. She works with adults facing depression, addictions, relationship strains and major life changes, and she supports people who are navigating health conditions or caring responsibilities.
Michele draws on seven years of practical experience to shape sessions around each person's needs. She uses clear, straightforward conversation and evidence-informed methods so clients can try things between meetings.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, manageable steps rather than overwhelming lists of tasks. Her approach blends talk-based methods with techniques that help people change unhelpful thinking and build healthier habits. Michele pays attention to how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people notice what matters most to them.
She also works with trauma-related concerns and the aftermath of abuse, tailoring pacing to each person. Michele aims to create a respectful, neurodivergent-affirming space where people feel heard. She invites clients to set practical goals, practise new coping skills and review progress regularly.
The emphasis is on what a person wants to change and how to get there. People can expect a collaborative process that balances understanding with active steps. Michele offers sessions that fit around work and family life, and she can adapt her style to suit different communication preferences.

How Michele adapts therapeutic approaches for online work
Michele commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy in her online practice. ACT focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and commit to small actions that reflect those values, which can aid anxiety, depression and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people change unhelpful interpersonal habits, useful for relationship and intimacy concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michele aims to choose methods that match a person's goals, preferences and pace, and she adjusts techniques as sessions progress. Clients collaborate on goals and review what helps most, so the path evolves from session to session.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls make it easier to use visual tools and read non-verbal cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins or when people prefer written reflection. These options offer flexibility for different schedules, locations and communication styles.
