How Michelle’s approaches translate to online counselling
Client‑centred therapy places the person’s needs at the heart of sessions, so the counsellor listens carefully and follows what matters most to the client. This approach helps people build their own solutions and can be useful for concerns like low self‑esteem and relationship worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It involves simple exercises and practical tools to steady anxiety, manage mood and reduce angry reactions. These tasks can be worked on between sessions to create lasting changes.
Emotionally‑Focused Therapy focuses on understanding emotions and how they shape close relationships. It helps people name and respond to feelings in clearer ways, which can ease conflict and improve connection.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods suit a person's goals, preferences and the issues they bring. This collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adapting them over time.
Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online counselling can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by reducing travel, offering shorter check‑in sessions when needed, and letting people attend from quieter surroundings or during a break at work.
