About Michelle

Michelle King is a counsellor with 17 years of UK practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and the everyday strains people face. Michelle aims to meet each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion.

She keeps explanations clear and practical so conversations feel accessible. Her approach is tailored to the individual. Sessions are shaped around what a person needs most, whether that is coping tools for anxiety or time to talk through past trauma.

Background and approach

Michelle uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, attachment-based work and client-centred counselling depending on the situation. She helps people dealing with low self-esteem, feelings of isolation, guilt and shame, and life changes such as separation or career shifts. Michelle also supports those struggling with caregiver stress, body image concerns and difficulties with communication and control.

Conversations aim to be down-to-earth and practical. People often leave with clearer next steps, coping strategies and a calmer sense of what to do next. Michelle adjusts pace and focus as needed to match each person's goals and comfort.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the person’s routine.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Trauma-focused work helps people make sense of painful memories and reduce their impact. It often involves gentle, paced conversations about difficult experiences and practical tools to manage unsettling reactions.

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. It can help people understand why they react in certain ways and learn new, healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and gently follows the person’s lead, helping them explore feelings and decide on next steps.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made as work progresses so the plan stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can be convenient for short check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options let people work with a therapist from wherever works best for their routine.
