About Michaela
Michaela Duffy helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and confidence struggles. She talks through relationship and family concerns, parenting pressures and the strain of life changes. Michaela works with adults on career questions and ADHD-related challenges.
Her approach is warm and practical, aimed at making small changes that add up. She holds BACP, which means she is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Michaela has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
Background and approach
She believes people are the experts in their own lives and draws on their strengths when planning the work together. Michaela blends straightforward, conversational therapy with techniques that help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns. Sessions explore recent problems and earlier experiences that shape current reactions.
The aim is to build clearer understanding and more helpful ways of coping. In session she listens for what matters most to each person and adapts the pace accordingly. Practical ideas and moments of reflection are often used side by side.
Some people focus on changing thoughts and behaviours, while others want to understand deeper patterns that repeat over time. People can expect a calm, friendly space to speak about difficult feelings. Michaela supports adults who want to improve mood, relationships, confidence and everyday coping.
She encourages small, manageable steps toward clearer priorities and steadier routines.

Approaches Michaela lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage panic and shift patterns that keep low mood or worry in place.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then choose methods together. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs become clearer.
Online therapy via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging makes sessions more flexible. Video mirrors face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and messages or chat allow shorter check-ins or ongoing contact between calls. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical change and understanding.
