About Michelle

Michelle Singh is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety and depression, and supports those dealing with relationship and family worries. Michelle uses straightforward talk and practical steps to help people move forward.

She draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, psychodynamic ideas and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to shape sessions. That means she may look at current thinking patterns, past relationship influences, and values that guide what matters to someone now. Sessions are conversational and aim to build on each person's strengths rather than focusing only on problems.

Michelle sees issues such as grief, intimacy concerns, sleep problems and parenting strain. She also supports people living with ADHD, compassion fatigue, chronic illness and codependency challenges. Work can include talking through boundaries, handling difficult emotions and planning small, achievable changes.

Michelle describes clients as the experts in their own lives and offers a non-judgemental space to try things out. She encourages practical homework between sessions when that helps, and she checks progress as therapy continues.

To begin, a person would choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Michelle accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How Michelle uses evidence-informed approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps in that direction. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and codependency by linking values to practical actions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviours that maintain distress and offers straightforward techniques to change them. It often helps with stress, sleep issues and mood by teaching skills to test and change unhelpful thoughts. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful in early sessions and adapt methods to the person's needs and goals. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. It removes travel time and can help people join sessions from different locations. Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats should be checked directly with the counsellor. Many people find that shorter check-ins, video conversations or telephone calls help maintain momentum without upending their day.
