About Michelle

Michelle Fear is a counsellor who uses trauma-informed and relational approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, family issues and grief. She works in English from the United Kingdom and brings three years of professional experience. Michelle treats each person with sensitivity and respect and adapts sessions to individual needs.

Her style is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on what feels most urgent, whether that is coping with loss, reducing anxiety or sorting through family tensions.

Background and approach

She listens first, then helps people find steps they can try between meetings. Michelle draws on trauma-focused methods to address harm from past events and on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships affect feelings and behaviour. Client-centred work keeps the client’s experience at the heart of the process.

Psychodynamic thinking can be used to notice patterns that repeat over time. In a session she aims to make things feel manageable. Conversations are paced to the person’s comfort and goals.

Tasks or exercises are offered when they seem helpful rather than prescriptive. People often come for help with abandonment, attachment challenges, dissociation, domestic violence, guilt, shame, loneliness and difficult separations. Michelle also supports those exploring identity and life purpose.

Work is collaborative - the plan evolves as progress is made.

How trauma-aware and relational approaches work online

Trauma-focused therapy helps people notice how past events affect the present and learn ways to reduce overwhelming reactions. It is often used for symptoms that follow abuse or other hurtful experiences and focuses on building safety and coping skills.

Attachment-based therapy looks at how close relationships shape feelings and behaviour. It can help people understand patterns of connection and separation, and develop different ways of relating to themselves and others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That exploration is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging, which gives flexibility for different lifestyles. Video is useful for fuller conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and location.
