About Michelle
Michelle Saunders offers a client-centred style of counselling that focuses on the person's own experience. She aims to build a straightforward, non-judgemental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and depression. Michelle uses practical conversation and gentle challenge to help people find clearer next steps.
She has six years of professional counselling experience and holds NCPS, which is listed as her credential. Her work draws on approaches such as Client-Centred Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape sessions around each person's needs.
Background and approach
This means sessions often focus on what matters most now and on practical ways to move forward. Michelle has supported people through relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. She also helps with body image, eating and food-related concerns, addiction, caregiver stress, and the emotional strain of fertility, fatherhood and separation.
Conversations tend to be direct and practical, aimed at clearing immediate obstacles and building coping strategies. Sessions are offered in English and take place online in the United Kingdom. Formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. Michelle aims to work collaboratively to set goals and decide on the best way forward.

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
Motivational Interviewing is about finding and strengthening motivation for change. The counsellor asks open questions and supports people to weigh options and set goals. It can help with issues like addiction, motivation, or making difficult life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences. Together they choose which methods to try and adjust them over time in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls suit fuller sessions where visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging work for quick updates, written reflection or when typing feels more comfortable. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family commitments or mobility constraints.
