ACA counsellor - Life purpose and stress

About Michele

Michele Stow is an ACA counsellor in Australia with five years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, ADHD, and life changes. Michele also works with issues such as workplace strain, women's concerns, chronic illness, and questions about life purpose.

Michele uses a person-centred, strengths-based way of working. She combines nervous system regulation techniques, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), mindfulness and practical strategies. Sessions focus on short, usable tools that fit into everyday life rather than long theoretical exercises.

People can expect to talk through what is most pressing and practise skills during sessions. Michele encourages small experiments between meetings so new habits can be tested and adjusted. She pays attention to emotions, bodily responses and daily routines when planning these steps.

Michele has worked with children, adolescents, adults, parents and carers during her five years of practice. That range has given her repeated experience with emotional regulation, burnout and the practical demands of caregiving and ageing concerns.

Sessions are shaped around each person's goals and current circumstances. Michele aims to help people build resilience and workable coping strategies they can return to after sessions end. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the site.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Person-centred work focuses on what matters to the person in front of the therapist. It starts by listening to current problems and building from existing strengths to set practical goals. Strengths-based work picks out everyday resources people already use and extends them into regular coping steps.

Nervous system regulation involves simple practices that help reduce overwhelm in the body and mind. These techniques can be short breathing or grounding exercises to calm intense reactions and support clearer thinking. Emotional Freedom Techniques, or EFT, uses gentle tapping alongside attention to emotions to lower distress and can be helpful for anxiety and phobias.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which techniques best match a person's needs, goals and preferences. That choice can be revised as sessions progress, with practical homework and small tests between meetings to check what helps.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practise strategies in everyday settings and bring real-life situations into session work.
