About Michelle
Michelle McAllister is a counsellor with four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties, and supports those coping with grief and confidence problems. She uses a straightforward, person-focused style.
Conversations and goals are shaped around what matters to each person. Sessions aim to be respectful, sensitive and practical so people leave with clearer steps to try between meetings.
Background and approach
Michelle draws on several approaches including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused techniques. That mix lets her adapt to different problems and preferences. She might help a person spot unhelpful thought patterns, look at long-standing relationship dynamics, or set small goals to build momentum.
Her practice pays attention to everyday pressures such as caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image and issues around abandonment or attachment. She also addresses concerns like guilt, shame, impulsivity and isolation so people can regain a sense of control and purpose. Michelle aims to collaborate with each person on a tailored plan.
She explains options clearly and helps people try practical steps between sessions. The work is paced to suit individual needs and priorities.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It includes practical exercises and short-term behavioural experiments that can reduce anxiety and low mood over weeks rather than months.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy itself. Michelle will talk with the person about goals, needs and preferences and then agree a way of working together. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions lean more towards exploring past patterns, shifting thoughts and behaviours, or setting small solvable goals.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text messaging. Video is good for a fuller conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health commitments while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
