About Michele
Michele Mckillop is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She works with people facing relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. Michele frames the client as the expert in their own story and helps them use their strengths to move forward.
She believes the first step takes courage and offers steady support during change. Sessions focus on practical steps that feel manageable.
Background and approach
Michele aims to empower people rather than tell them what to do. In the room she listens for patterns that keep causing pain, such as attachment or abandonment issues. She also helps people address related struggles like guilt, shame, isolation and difficulties with communication.
Work can include coping strategies for mood problems, midlife shifts, or the fallout from divorce and separation. Michele pays attention to how past trauma and post-traumatic stress shape current relationships and self-image. She also supports people who are caring for others and feeling overwhelmed by stress and responsibility.
Sessions are paced to suit each person’s needs and resilience. Practical matters such as body image concerns, impulsivity, and questions about life purpose are welcomed. Michele uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people make changes they can notice in daily life.
Conversations are collaborative and focused on achievable steps.

How Michele’s approaches translate to online therapy
Michele uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on how past experiences shape present relationships. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful patterns in relationships and try new ways of relating. This can reduce repeated conflict and improve communication in close relationships.She also works with trauma-focused methods that help people process past hurt and its impact on mood and intimacy. These techniques aim to reduce reactivity and build more stable ways of coping after distressing events.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michele will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, adjusting methods as therapy progresses to find the best fit for each person.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation when you want face-to-face contact, while phone calls can be a simpler option with less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and busy schedules, and to keep momentum as progress is made.
