About Michelle

Michelle Sewell is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people feel heard and understood. She works with individuals who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationships and self-esteem. Michelle offers a calm space to talk and to consider what might help next.

She combines client-centred work with other approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally-focused ideas. That means sessions can focus on practical steps, looking at patterns, or making space to explore feelings. Michelle adapts her style to what each person needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

Michelle has four years of experience in counselling. She has supported people dealing with grief, parenting pressures, compassion fatigue and workplace stress. She also helps those facing life changes, communication or intimacy concerns, and issues around body image or attachment.

Her British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration is listed as BACP. Michelle works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. She does not take international clients at this time.

To begin, clients follow the site process to match to a counsellor and then arrange sessions. Michelle uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with fees varying by location and therapist availability. The focus in sessions is on what the person wants to change and how to reach that in a way that feels manageable.

How her approaches work online and in sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance. The counsellor offers an empathic space where the person sets the pace and topics, which can help with low self-esteem, life transitions and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It often includes practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and coping patterns, useful for anxiety, panic and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and decide collaboratively whether to use client-centred listening, CBT techniques, emotionally-focused ideas or a mix that suits the person's needs.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so check the booking details to confirm available options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to help people maintain continuity of care and practise skills between meetings.
