About Michelle
Michelle Thomas is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with seven years' experience. She takes a warm, approachable style and treats each person as the expert of their own life. Sessions are tailored to what the client needs right now, with practical strategies to tackle problems and build new coping tools.
She uses an integrative way of working, blending approaches to match each person's priorities. That can mean using mindful techniques to ease stress, looking at patterns that feed anxiety, or focusing on emotions that sit behind relationship difficulties. The emphasis is on doing work that feels useful and doable between sessions.
Michelle has particular experience with stress, anxiety and depression, and helps people facing intimacy issues, self-esteem concerns and addictions. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and sleep problems, and those adjusting to major life or career changes.
Additional focus areas include ADHD, attachment and abandonment concerns, caring for someone with illness, and questions around body image and sexual expression. She also lists support for parenting pressures, compassion fatigue and career-related strain.
Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom. Michelle uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; confirm the current session options before booking and follow the Start Therapy steps to begin.
How these approaches can help online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the individual's experience and aims to create space for people to speak freely and make sense of their feelings. It helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns and making clearer decisions about life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical steps to reduce anxiety, manage low mood and change unhelpful patterns. It works well for stress, sleeping issues and certain addictive behaviours.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying and processing core emotions that underlie relationship and intimacy difficulties. It can help people understand their emotional responses and develop different ways of relating to others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and may combine techniques as the work progresses.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person session is difficult. It also gives flexibility for quieter or lower-bandwidth interactions when needed.
