About Michele
Michele Kavanagh is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to make therapy clear and practical. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. Michele aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through difficult feelings and feel listened to.
She works with people facing depression, grief and the fallout of trauma and abuse. Michele also supports those dealing with relationship strain, intimacy-related issues and problems with sleeping.
Background and approach
Practical concerns such as parenting, career stress, addictions and compassion fatigue are part of her day-to-day practice. Michele draws on several therapeutic ideas to shape each session. She uses attachment-based and client-centred approaches to build trust and understand how early relationships affect current patterns.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try alternative ways of responding. Her style is straightforward and compassionate. Michele listens carefully and reflects what she hears so clients feel understood.
Sessions are paced according to each person’s needs and practical steps are offered when useful. With four years' experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she practices in the United Kingdom. Michele encourages people to take the first step and will support them as they plan their next moves.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele will discuss different methods and decide together which fits best with a person’s goals and preferences. This collaborative process means adjustments can be made if a particular style does not feel helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls suit in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone sessions may be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can help with quicker check-ins and text messaging works well for brief, ongoing support. These options let people fit therapy around work, caring duties and other commitments while keeping regular contact with a registered professional.
