Online support

Michelle uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a respectful and accepting environment where people can talk openly about what matters. This approach focuses on listening, understanding feelings, and helping people gain clearer self-awareness. It often suits issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing, a collaborative style that helps people find their own reasons for change. This approach is practical for addictions, lifestyle shifts and when someone feels stuck but wants to move forward. It focuses on small, achievable steps and on building a person’s confidence to act.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Michelle will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt techniques to fit each person. The process is collaborative and paced to individual needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual connection, phone can be easier with lower bandwidth, and messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy around work, travel and family life.
