About Michelle

Michelle King is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with eight years' experience based in the United Kingdom and registered with the BACP. She sees adults for one-to-one work and helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Her profile also notes a focus on blended family issues alongside other concerns such as attachment and communication problems.

She uses a person-centred foundation and adapts sessions to what each person brings. That can mean straightforward talking work, strategy-focused sessions, or creative therapy where appropriate. Sessions may look different depending on whether someone needs short-term support or longer-term work.

Michelle often explores how past experiences shape present patterns. She offers respectful challenges as well as listening, so people can gain clearer understanding of their feelings and choices. Practical steps and coping strategies form part of the work when they are helpful.

Her background includes clinical supervision work alongside counselling practice. Michelle describes working with neurodivergence and self-harm among other issues, and she supports adults navigating changes such as separation, grief, and blended household adjustments.

Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users follow the online matching and booking process to arrange a first meeting.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Michelle uses a person-centred approach online, which focuses on what the client brings to each session and adapts the conversation to their needs. This approach helps with anxiety, stress, grief and everyday decisions by keeping the client's concerns at the centre of the work.

She also offers creative therapy alongside talking and strategy-based techniques. Creative methods can help people express feelings that are hard to put into words and can be useful when working through trauma, bereavement or changes in family roles. Strategy-focused work targets practical coping steps and routines for symptoms such as anxiety or ADHD-related difficulties.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to try different methods and agree what fits best for their goals and preferences. That process can include reviewing past experiences, developing coping strategies, or using creative exercises as needed.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, offering shorter check-ins when needed, or allowing sessions to be scheduled around work or caregiving commitments.
