About Michelle
Michelle Reid is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. She holds BACP accreditation and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. Michelle emphasises practical steps and straightforward support when life feels overwhelming.
She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through difficulties and build on their own strengths. Michelle believes clients are the experts in their own stories and works alongside them to find coping strategies that fit daily life.
Background and approach
This can include simple routines, communication tools and ways to manage anxious moments. Her background includes helping people with family and relationship strains, low self-esteem, and major life changes such as separation or shifting family roles. Michelle also supports people facing abandonment or attachment issues, and those adjusting to chronic illness or disability.
She is familiar with concerns linked to autism and Asperger syndrome and with personality-related worries such as avoidant and dependent patterns. Sessions typically focus on clear, achievable goals. Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address communication problems, codependency and control issues.
She also works with people coping after domestic violence, divorce, natural disasters or other traumatic events. Therapy is offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions that fit their timetable.
Practical approaches for online therapy
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, doable steps. One approach she often uses encourages people to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns; it helps with anxiety, low mood and building everyday coping skills. Another approach centres on understanding attachment and relationship patterns, helping people improve communication and feel steadier in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods together. This collaborative process helps to shape sessions so they meet immediate needs and longer term aims.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging, which makes therapy easier to fit around work, family and health needs. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to use a camera. These options offer flexibility and make it straightforward to keep therapy going when life gets busy.
