About Michelle
Michelle King is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with eight years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Michelle works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, coping with life changes and ADHD.
She offers one-to-one counselling that can be short or longer term depending on the person’s circumstances. Sessions focus on what the client brings, whether that is a recent loss, an ongoing struggle with anxiety, or the challenges of neurodivergence. Michelle uses talking therapies and practical strategies alongside creative methods when helpful.
Her approach is rooted in the person-centred model. That means conversations centre on the client's concerns and pace. She will also introduce gentle challenges and strategies aimed at increasing understanding of current patterns and choices.
Past experiences and relationships may be explored to see how they affect present behaviour and feelings. Michelle can help people untangle issues around attachment, abandonment and family of origin problems, or manage dissociation and control issues that come from earlier difficulties.
Many clients seek help for life transitions such as separation, fertility struggles, career changes or the pressures of being a young adult. Michelle also works with issues linked to autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, first responder issues and gender dysphoria. She aims to help people clarify next steps and cope more effectively with day-to-day demands.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Michelle describes a person-centred way of working which focuses on the client's priorities, feelings and perspective. In practice this means sessions centre on what the client wants to bring, with the counsellor reflecting, listening and offering gentle challenges to build understanding. This approach helps with anxiety, grief and life transitions where being heard and understood is central.She also uses talking therapies combined with practical strategy-based work. Strategy work can include straightforward coping tools, behavioural steps and routines to manage stress or ADHD symptoms. Creative methods are sometimes used alongside talking to help people access feelings or try new ways of expressing themselves when words alone feel limited.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Michelle will work collaboratively to identify what helps most. Together they will test different techniques and adapt session focus according to the client's goals and preferences, reviewing what works as they go.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a study or work week, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more flexible session times when needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often offer this flexibility to help therapy fit into everyday life.
