About Michelle
Michelle King welcomes people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or unsure how to move forward. She introduces a calm, steady presence and helps clients talk things through at a pace that suits them. Michelle explains things plainly and aims to make sessions feel practical and manageable for busy lives.
Michelle is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with eight years' experience. She works with adults and adolescents on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, coping with life changes and ADHD.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems and dissociation. Her style is rooted in person-centred work, which means sessions focus on what the client brings and on building a trusting therapeutic relationship. She blends talking therapy with creative methods and some strategy-based work when that is helpful.
Conversations may also examine past experiences to see how they affect current feelings and behaviour. Michelle offers one-to-one counselling that can be short term or longer term depending on what each person needs. She describes her role as offering support and gentle, respectful challenge to help people gain clarity and make changes they want to see.
The aim is to leave clients better able to cope and more able to plan next steps. She practices in the United Kingdom and works in English. Michelle is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which is listed among her credentials.
If someone prefers remote work she provides video, phone, chat and messaging options.

Online support
She also uses creative therapy alongside talking and strategy-based work. Creative methods can include drawing, metaphor or guided tasks that help people express feelings differently and notice patterns in thinking and behaviour. Strategy-based work means practical tools and small experiments to test changes between sessions, useful for stress, ADHD and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Michelle will talk with the client about goals, try methods that feel suitable and adapt the plan as work progresses. She sees therapy as a partnership where approach and pace are agreed together.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can be an easier option when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options help people fit therapy into work, study or caring schedules and make it easier to attend from different locations.
