About Michelle
Michelle Saunders is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has six years of experience. She works in the United Kingdom and focuses on common problems that affect young adults, including stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Michelle draws on straightforward, person-centred ways of working to help people talk through what is worrying them. She tends to keep sessions practical and goal-focused, helping clients identify small steps they can try between meetings.
Her background includes long experience in health settings, which informs how she responds to people under stress. Michelle has supported people with depression, anger, motivation struggles and challenges around body image and eating concerns.
She also works with people facing relationship strain, intimacy-related worries, grief, trauma and issues connected to caregiving or fatherhood. Additional areas she addresses include attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, and difficulties linked to divorce or separation.
Michelle uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to keep sessions practical and collaborative. Clients can expect a conversational style that looks at current patterns, explores options and builds on what already helps.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location.
How Michelle applies her approaches in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client’s experience and uses listening and reflection to help people clarify what matters to them. It suits issues such as low self-esteem, relationship worries and feeling stuck.Motivational Interviewing helps people find and strengthen their own reasons to change. It is useful for motivation problems, substance concerns and making behaviour changes that feel sustainable.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and short-term goals. It is often used when someone wants clearer next steps for coping with stress, anxiety or life transitions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and agree a way of working together. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, shifts or travel and can reduce time spent getting to appointments. It also allows for different styles of check-in, such as shorter catch-ups or longer exploratory sessions, depending on what suits daily life.
