About Michelle
Michelle King is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with eight years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and regularly works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, life changes and ADHD. Michelle also lists a range of related concerns she supports, including attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, and caregiver stress.
She offers one-to-one counselling that can be short term or longer term depending on what a person needs. Sessions combine talking work with practical strategies and, when helpful, creative methods. Michelle places emphasis on what the client brings to the session and responds with direct, respectful interventions rather than a fixed script.
Her main orientation is person-centred therapy, which means she concentrates on listening and responding to the person in front of her. Within that framework she may use creative approaches alongside more strategy-based techniques. She also works with material from a client's past to see how earlier experiences affect current behaviour and relationships.
People who feel stuck after a change at work, in relationships or with health may find sessions useful for sorting priorities and testing small steps forward. Michelle aims to help clients talk through their concerns, notice patterns that limit them, and try practical ways to cope differently. She does not promise specific outcomes but focuses on collaborative, evidence-informed ways of working.
Sessions are offered in English and are based in the UK. Michelle provides a clinical supervision role as well as therapeutic work, and she describes her practice as suitable for adults seeking help with the concerns listed above.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Person-centred therapy focuses on listening, understanding and responding to what the person brings. Online, this looks like time spent reflecting back what the client says, clarifying priorities and deciding next steps together. This approach helps with anxiety, low mood and feeling unsure about the next life stage.Creative approaches involve drawing, writing or other expressive tasks to access feelings that are hard to put into words. Used online, a therapist might invite short written exercises, image work or practical tasks to do between sessions to help people understand patterns and emotions.
Finding the most helpful method is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with the client, try different techniques and adjust based on what feels useful. Decisions about methods and pace are made together, with attention to the client's goals and preferences.
Practical benefits of online work include being able to fit sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Some people find phone or video sessions easier for shorter check-ins or for times when showing up on camera is difficult. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before you book. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep therapy part of everyday life without promising specific outcomes.
