About Michelle
Michelle Lindsay is a counsellor and a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She draws on person-centred and existential ideas to help people understand what feels hard right now and to find practical steps forward. Her tone is warm and down-to-earth.
She aims to make the first sessions straightforward and easy to follow. Michelle focuses on everyday problems that can feel overwhelming. These include stress, anxiety, low mood and depression, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem difficulties.
Background and approach
She also supports people with relationship worries, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, grief, career concerns and ADHD-related challenges. She has four years of experience working in independent practice and within community services across the United Kingdom. Michelle offers online and in-person sessions and is familiar with a range of ways people like to meet, including video, phone, live chat and text messaging.
Her registration with the BACP is noted to show professional membership. In sessions she listens without judgement and treats each person as the expert on their life. The person-centred approach means she follows each person's concerns rather than imposing a fixed plan.
Existential-informed work looks at meaning, choices and how someone wants to live going forward. Practical steps are a regular part of the work. Michelle aims to help people identify small, manageable changes and to test what helps.
She encourages steady progress and supports people to build on their strengths when they are ready to make 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
Existential therapy in her practice focuses on life choices, meaning and values. It helps people facing big questions - for example career shifts, grief, commitment concerns or life transitions - by exploring what matters and what a person wants from their future.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each client to decide which ideas and exercises suit their goals and preferences. That might mean mostly person-centred listening at first, then adding existential discussion about values and direction as things progress.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well for in-depth conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments and to continue work between sessions.
