About Michele

Michele Attias is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 20 years of experience. She works in English and Spanish and helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and major life changes. She also supports clients with relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, addiction issues and career questions.

Michele uses a client-centred, integrative style. Sessions typically mix conversational work with practical steps people can try between meetings. She aims to help clients make clearer decisions and take actions that reduce overwhelm and rumination.

Many people come to her when they feel stuck after a breakup, a job change or during the early adult transition from study into work. She also works with those managing long-term conditions such as bipolar, or with identity and attachment issues. Michele pays attention to how emotional patterns affect daily life and energy levels.

Her approach draws on a range of therapies so sessions can include techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work and emotion-focused methods. Michele discusses options and adjusts the mix to what feels useful for each person.

She describes herself as a good listener who supports people to improve focus, time management and coping. Michele offers short or longer term work and discusses the plan with each client at the start. To begin, people use the service matching process and schedule a first session.

How Michele's therapeutic approaches translate online

Michele works with approaches that can fit into online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify values and take action despite difficult thoughts. It can help with anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck by teaching practical skills for daily living.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions using this approach can help people understand connection issues, intimacy problems and attachment-related anxiety by reflecting on relationship history and current behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele discusses each method with clients and decides together which techniques to use based on goals and preferences. That collaborative selection helps keep sessions focused and relevant to the client’s life stage and concerns.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the exact options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into study, work and busy schedules. It can allow shorter check-ins on a busy day, reduce travel time, or make sessions possible when relocating or living abroad. Registered or accredited professionals like Michele often adapt tools and exercises so they work well in remote appointments, and they discuss practical arrangements with each person before the first session.
