About Michele
Michele Attias is a BACP counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make sessions feel calm and straightforward. Michele uses clear, practical support so people can start taking small steps forward.
Michele draws on two decades of experience and a broad clinical toolkit. She works in an integrative, client-centred way and mixes approaches to suit each person. Sessions often focus on decision-making, reducing overwhelm and improving day-to-day energy and focus.
Background and approach
Clients bring a wide range of concerns, including grief, depression, trauma and addiction. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues, career strain, parenting challenges and body-image worries. Michele pays attention to emotional, social and practical needs together rather than treating problems in isolation.
Work in sessions is collaborative and practical. Michele listens, helps people clarify values and sets realistic, manageable steps. Some people choose short-term work for a specific problem, while others prefer longer-term support to change patterns over time.
Her background as a life coach and as an author informs her style. That means conversations focus on what actions help, not only on describing problems. Michele encourages small, sustainable changes that improve concentration, time management and overall calm.
How Michele's approaches translate to online therapy
Michele uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take small actions even when feelings are difficult. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety and overthinking because it focuses on values and practical steps rather than struggling with every upsetting thought.She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which puts the person at the heart of the work. That means the therapist listens closely, follows the client's pace and helps people find their own solutions. This approach suits those who need a steady, respectful space to talk things through.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Michele will discuss goals and preferences and together they decide what to try. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low, chat fits quick check-ins and messaging suits brief updates or reflective notes. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on practical change.
