About Muriel
Muriel Tafts is a counsellor with a Foundation Degree in Integrated Counselling and four years of post-qualification experience. She works in the United Kingdom and speaks English. Muriel aims to make starting therapy straightforward and non-intimidating for people under pressure.
Her work has focused on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, career questions and coping with life changes. She also pays attention to issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and midlife concerns.
Background and approach
Muriel brings practical support to emotional and everyday problems. In sessions she creates an open, non-judgemental environment where people can talk through their feelings. She encourages curiosity about thoughts, emotions and behaviour so patterns become clearer.
Discussions often include simple explanations of psychological ideas and suggestions to try between sessions. Muriel uses a mix of approaches depending on needs, including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic ideas. Early on she agrees short-term goals and reviews progress about every four weeks.
Sessions aim to balance exploring roots of problems with finding concrete steps forward. She is also studying for a Master of Science in Workplace Health and Wellbeing, which informs her understanding of work-related stress and organisational pressures. Muriel presents therapy as a collaborative process where people and counsellor walk together until the person feels ready to continue alone.

Approaches Muriel 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
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Muriel collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. Together they set short-term goals and review how things are progressing, adjusting the way of working when needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to give practical options. Video helps recreate a face-to-face feel, phone calls work well when you need less bandwidth or want not to be on camera, and chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping a consistent course of support.
