Michaela Probert

Michaela Probert is a counsellor who helps people who feel overwhelmed, low, or out of sorts. She offers a calm, listening presence for anyone unsure what is wrong or who has a specific issue they want to talk through.

Michaela works in an integrative way and draws on several approaches to shape sessions around each person. She focuses on building a trusting space, listening without judgement, and supporting people to discover their own resources. Her aim is to help clients move toward clearer goals and renewed confidence.

In practice she uses elements from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ways of working, plus ideas from Jungian therapy. These approaches are used to suit the person and the problem rather than following one fixed method.

Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, anger, relationship and family issues, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and intimacy-related worries. She also offers support around sleep, parenting pressures, career questions, coping with change and ADHD related challenges.

Michaela is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has five years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom and works in English. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy process on the site to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How her approaches can work online

Michaela uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) among other methods. CBT focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. ACT helps people clarify their values and take actions aligned with those values, which can help with stress, anger and life changes.

She also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ways of working to build a trusting, supportive relationship. That means the therapist collaborates with the person to find which methods feel most useful. Deciding on an approach is an ongoing, joint process based on the person's goals and preferences.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the available online or in-person options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. A therapist will also help adapt exercises and tools so they work well in your chosen session style.
