About Michelle
Michelle Fear draws on relationship-focused and trauma-aware approaches to help people manage painful feelings and recurring patterns. She works in a respectful, sensitive way and aims to make conversations straightforward and useful. Michelle has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation.
She helps people who are struggling with stress and anxiety or who are coping after loss. Trauma, abuse and family tensions are also areas she commonly addresses.
Background and approach
Michelle listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating, such as attachment worries or fears about commitment. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs. Michelle uses techniques from attachment-based and trauma-focused perspectives alongside client-centred and psychodynamic ideas.
That means she pays attention to how early relationships affect current feelings, while also supporting people to find their own answers. Practical concerns are addressed in clear, down-to-earth ways. People can expect to talk about what feels hard now, notice patterns from the past, and try small steps that might change how they respond.
The aim is to build more choice and relief over time. Michelle works with a wide range of issues tied to relationships and identity, including grief, self-esteem, LGBT concerns, family problems, infidelity, domestic violence, dissociation and feelings of emptiness. She invites people to set the pace and focus they want to take in therapy.
Getting started is a simple process: a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session. Michelle offers support with patience and practical guidance as people take steps toward change.

Approaches Michelle 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
Client-centred therapy places the person’s perspective at the heart of the work. In this approach the counsellor offers active listening, acceptance and reflection so people can find their own solutions and build self-trust. Psychodynamic ideas look at repeating themes and unconscious patterns to make sense of why some reactions keep coming up, which can be useful for longstanding relationship or identity issues.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then shape sessions collaboratively so the work fits the individual’s needs rather than forcing a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, and they offer practical flexibility. Video is close to face-to-face for in-depth conversations, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, while chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to work around schedules and to keep therapy consistent over time.
