About Michelle
Michelle Lindsay is a counsellor and a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings four years of experience helping people with stress, anxiety, low mood and life changes. Michelle works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
She uses a humanistic approach that is mainly client-centred with existential ideas. Sessions focus on listening and understanding a person's story. The aim is to identify practical steps and new ways of coping rather than quick fixes.
Clients come with many concerns, including trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, grief and parenting strains. Michelle also supports people dealing with chronic illness, codependency and neurodiversity-related challenges such as autism and ADHD. She pays attention to how past family experiences and attachment patterns shape current difficulties.
Her style is collaborative and relational. People are invited to talk through what they need and set goals together. Michelle may bring in other therapeutic ideas when they suit the client's needs and preferences.
Sessions are organised through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin a working relationship, a person uses the Start Therapy button, completes a brief matching questionnaire and then schedules according to the therapist's availability.
How client-centred and existential approaches transfer online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering an accepting, non-judgemental space where the person is listened to and understood. It helps when someone needs to rebuild self-esteem, work through relationship issues or feel heard about painful life events.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choices and how someone makes sense of life changes. It can help when people feel stuck, face grief, or struggle with questions about purpose, commitment and identity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and will adapt the balance of Client-Centred and Existential ways of working to suit those needs. That collaborative planning helps ensure sessions match what the person wants to address.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments around work, study or caregiving duties. Confirm the current session options before booking to know what formats are offered and to plan sessions that suit everyday routines.
