About Michelle
Michelle King is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who supports people facing anxiety, stress, grief and big life changes. She works with adults and adolescents and often helps people managing trauma, ADHD and related struggles. Michelle aims to create a calm space where someone can talk and begin to make small changes that feel right for them.
She offers one-to-one counselling that can be short term or longer term depending on the situation.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what the person brings to the room, whether that is a specific problem or a general feeling of being stuck. Michelle uses a person-centred way of working, which means the conversation follows the client’s priorities rather than a fixed script. Her sessions can include creative activities alongside talking and practical strategies.
These tools are used to help people notice patterns, try new ways of coping and build clearer choices for everyday life. She may also look at past experiences to see how they influence current reactions and relationships. Michelle holds BACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
She has eight years of experience working in therapeutic roles across different settings in the United Kingdom. People meet Michelle to make sense of loss, reduce overwhelm, manage symptoms of anxiety or deal with difficult events from the past. Her style is respectful and gently challenging, aimed at helping people understand themselves and find practical steps forward.
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Person-centred work places the client at the heart of the session and follows their priorities. Online this means conversations focus on what matters to you, whether that is immediate coping strategies, exploring feelings about the past, or planning small changes for daily life.Creative approaches can be adapted for remote work by using simple exercises, guided imagery or written tasks during sessions. These methods help people access feelings in a different way and can be useful for trauma, grief or when emotional expression is difficult.
Brief practical strategies and structure are also used to help manage symptoms of anxiety, stress and ADHD. These are concrete tools you can try between sessions to test what works in your day-to-day routine.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which techniques suit your goals and preferences and will adjust methods as you progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how you meet. Video calls are close to face-to-face work and are useful for in-depth conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, journalling-style reflections or those who find typing easier than speaking. These options help therapy fit around work, family and other commitments.
