About Michelle
Michelle McAllister is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to make people feel heard and understood. She holds NCPS and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Her manner is respectful and compassionate, and she aims to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.
She helps people who are dealing with stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, and issues around motivation and confidence. Relationship difficulties and grief are also areas she works on with clients. Michelle adjusts the pace and focus of sessions to suit what someone brings to therapy.
Michelle draws on several ways of working to suit different problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can help with unhelpful thinking and practical coping steps. Psychodynamic ideas can be used to understand patterns that repeat over time. Solution-Focused Therapy supports setting clear, small goals to move forward.
Sessions are built around listening first, then planning practical steps together. Michelle aims to make the work feel collaborative rather than prescriptive. She encourages people to notice small changes and build on them between meetings.

How Michelle uses different approaches in online therapy
Michelle works from a client-centred base, starting by listening carefully to what matters to the person in front of her. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathy and respect, helping people to feel understood and to lead the pace and content of sessions. It is useful for building trust and exploring what is most important to someone.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is also part of her toolkit. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions, and uses straightforward exercises to try new ways of coping. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood and practical life stresses.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle will work with the person to find what fits best based on their goals and preferences, and she may draw on more than one method as things change. The aim is to tailor each session so it feels useful and manageable.
