I‘ve had therapy with Michelle for about two months now, but already felt much better after our first session. Since, I have been better able to cope with my (mostly work-related) anxiety and mitigate procrastination. Therapy has also improved my self-confidence, also in regards to setting my boundaries. I am very thankful for Michelle, her expertise, and her kind and respectful manner. I can most definitely recommend her as a therapist.

More about Michelle
- 4 years' experience

- BACP
I am a BACP licensed counsellor/psychotherapist here in the UK, with 4 + years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. I use mindfulness techniques in my practice, such as breathing techniques and body scans. I also work with my clients on assertiveness training & using healthy communication skills. I am a big advocate of psycho education which i feel helps us to better understand ourselves, which in turn allows us to become the best versions of ourselves. I also have a degree in Psychology which allows me to better understand the human condition.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
