About Michelle
Michelle Kalam uses an evidence-based, person-centred approach to counselling. She focuses on practical conversations that help people understand what they are feeling and take realistic next steps. Michelle aims to create a calm, welcoming space so clients can speak openly and be heard.
She has four years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which guides her practice and professional standards. Michelle works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety and depression, and with difficult life events including grief and major change.
Background and approach
She also supports people coping with relationship strain, career pressure and parenting challenges. Her practice addresses a wide range of related issues, including attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and eating difficulties, communication problems and anger. Michelle also helps people affected by trauma and abuse, domestic violence, separation and caregiving stress.
Sessions aim to be practical and paced to each person. Conversations might include identifying patterns, developing coping strategies and practising new ways of relating to oneself and others. Michelle pays attention to how life events affect mood, behaviour and day-to-day functioning.
People can expect warmth and straightforward feedback during sessions. Michelle encourages small, manageable changes and supports clients as they try new approaches. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier coping and more choice in everyday life.

Online support
Choosing the best approach is a shared process. Michelle will discuss your goals and preferences during early sessions and suggest ways of working together. She adapts techniques as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant to what is actually helping you.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when you prefer seeing expressions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who want written reflection or need to fit counselling into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity and fit support into everyday life.
