About Michele
Michele Attias greets people in English and Spanish and aims to make the first step feel manageable. She is a BACP counsellor with 20 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and life changes. Michele uses clear, simple conversation to help clients feel heard and supported.
Michele draws on a range of approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions are practical and focused on everyday life - sleep, work, relationships, parenting and coping with loss.
Background and approach
She encourages realistic goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her work balances emotional support with action. Michele helps people reduce overwhelm, improve concentration and manage stress so they can make decisions and take steps forward.
She talks through strategies for time management, focus and energy levels. Michele describes her style as caring and direct. She listens closely and adapts treatments to suit individual needs, offering both short- and longer-term options.
The aim is to build coping skills that fit day-to-day life. Across two decades she has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including addiction, intimacy and body image issues, and neurodiversity-related challenges. Her practice also covers career dilemmas, compassion fatigue and parenting stresses.
If someone is unsure where to begin, Michele works collaboratively to set priorities and plan next steps. The emphasis is on steady change, clearer thinking and practical support for real-world problems.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele will discuss options with each person and decide together what feels most useful. That collaboration means the plan can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, so people can pick what fits their life. Video helps with a face-to-face feel, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These choices make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel, while keeping continuity of care across time zones for international clients.
