About Michelle

Michelle Lumley is a BACP counsellor offering online sessions across the United Kingdom. She aims to make the first steps simple and clear. Michelle uses a calm, patient manner and creates a respectful space where people can say what they need to at their own pace.

She works in a humanistic, client-centred way that focuses on building trust. Listening and asking thoughtful questions are central to how she finds out what each person needs.

Background and approach

That approach can help when someone feels low or anxious but isn’t sure why. Michelle uses a mix of approaches and adapts them to each person. She draws on attachment-focused ideas, cognitive behavioural methods and narrative tools to help people make sense of difficult experiences.

Creative options like reflective writing or simple art materials are available for those who prefer a less verbal route. Her practice supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and parenting concerns, self-esteem, ADHD and many other issues. Sessions can be short term or longer term depending on personal goals and circumstances.

Michelle offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Sessions are available to adults aged 18 and over across the UK. She regularly reviews progress with clients to make sure the work remains useful and relevant.

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

How Michelle uses proven approaches online

Attachment-based work looks at how early connections shape feelings and behaviour. It helps people understand patterns in relationships and how past hurts affect present reactions.

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. The counsellor listens without directing and helps clients find their own answers, which suits people who need time to explore feelings safely.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and then tries small practical changes. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress-related problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Michelle will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as the work develops.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and rapport similar to face-to-face work. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a brief check-in during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer writing and can be easier to keep up between other commitments. These options make it simpler to attend regular sessions and to match therapy to everyday life.
