About Michele

Michele Attias is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 20 years of practice. She sees people in English and Spanish and works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and family matters, and blended family issues.

Michele uses an integrative, client-centred approach. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps people can take to reduce overwhelm and make decisions with less anxiety. She draws on a mix of methods to match what the person needs in the moment, and she discusses whether shorter or longer work will suit the goals.

Her background includes life coaching and authorship, and she brings that experience into sessions when people want help turning insight into action. Michele pays attention to emotional patterns and attachment dynamics while also working on everyday tasks like time management, concentration and boundaries.

People who come for support often want help with feeling less stuck, improving energy and performance, and managing the symptoms of burnout or overthinking. Michele aims to work in ways that lead to clearer decisions and more consistent follow-through.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and Michele accepts international clients. Before committing to longer-scale work she talks through practical goals and how to make the sessions fit into daily life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can help with anxiety, avoidance and making clearer choices. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns affect current relationships and helps people notice and change unhelpful interaction habits. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person's perspective and supports them to find their own solutions by listening and reflecting back what matters.

Choosing which approaches to use is a collaborative process. Michele will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adapt methods as work progresses. The first sessions are often used to agree what feels most useful and how to combine different techniques to meet practical aims.

The therapist supports people to fit sessions into everyday life. The biography does not specify session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel, or use phone rather than video when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setting is needed. Registered or accredited professionals can deliver the same therapeutic approaches remotely, and Michele aims to help clients turn insights into action in ways that suit daily routines.
