About Michelle

Michelle Thomas is a counsellor who blends client-centred work with practical tools. She aims to make sessions approachable and down-to-earth. Michelle uses an integrative style that responds to each person's needs and goals.

She explains that the client is the expert on their life and that therapy is a collaboration. Sessions focus on understanding what is causing distress and building simple tools to manage it. That may include strategies for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or sleep problems.

Michelle has seven years of experience and holds NCPS as a credential. Over time she has supported people facing depression, addictions, anger and grief, among other concerns. She also works with issues connected to intimacy, relationships and attachment.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy, alongside mindfulness and hypnotherapy techniques where appropriate. Sessions are tailored so people can try different ways of working and keep what helps.

Michelle offers some evening and weekend slots by request. To begin, the site process asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to her availability. She aims to support and empower people as they make practical changes in their day-to-day lives.

How Michelle’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions. It focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for worries about relationships, self-esteem and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers concrete strategies for anxiety, low mood, sleep and stress. Sessions often include practical exercises to try between meetings.

Finding the right approach tends to be a joint process. The therapist will talk through options and adjust methods to match a person’s goals and preferences. That means trying different techniques and keeping what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins on a workday or quieter, less time-consuming appointments when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often bring the same therapeutic skills to remote sessions, helping people apply strategies in their everyday life.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
