About Michele
Michele Kavanagh is a counsellor who centres her work on the person in front of her. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to help people feel understood and respected. Michele welcomes honest conversations about stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes. She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and reassuring.
Michele practises within an ethical framework and offers a calm, non-judgemental space. She listens closely and mirrors what she hears so people feel genuinely understood. This approach is often useful when someone needs to rebuild confidence or cope with relationship strain.
Her background includes four years of hands-on experience supporting people through grief, trauma and compassion fatigue. Michele also helps with anger, sleeping difficulties, addictions and career-related stress. She brings a steady, empathetic stance to practical problems and emotional hurts.
Michele combines Client-Centred Therapy with attachment-focused ideas and cognitive behavioural tools when helpful. She adapts what she uses to what each person needs rather than applying a fixed formula. This means sessions can involve talking, reflecting and trying small changes between meetings.
Michele is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to availability.
How Michele’s approaches work for online therapy
Michele draws from Client-Centred Therapy to put the person’s experience first, offering careful listening and acceptance. This approach helps when someone needs to feel understood before tackling harder issues. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and can help people understand how past bonds shape current reactions, useful for relationship concerns and intimacy issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative conversation helps shape practical steps and the pace of therapy so it fits what matters most to the client.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people choose a quieter time or place and can be useful for keeping momentum between in-person meetings. Registered or accredited professionals can explain what will work best for an individual's situation during the initial match and scheduling process.
