About Michele
Michele Attias is a BACP counsellor who speaks English and Spanish. She focuses on helping people who feel stressed, overwhelmed, anxious or stuck. Michele offers a calm, attentive presence and aims to make clients feel heard from the first session.
She uses an integrative, client-centred approach. That means sessions are shaped around the person in front of her rather than a single method. Michele draws on several approaches to help with mood, anxiety, grief, addiction and parenting concerns among other issues.
Background and approach
Her work takes a whole-person view. Conversations address physical, emotional, social and spiritual factors that affect day-to-day coping. She also blends practical coaching to help clients make decisions and take steps without excess stress or overthinking.
Sessions can be short term to solve a specific problem or longer term for deeper change, depending on what the client wants. Michele aims to improve energy, focus and time management alongside emotional wellbeing. With around 20 years of experience, she has supported people through life changes, bereavement, relationship and intimacy issues, career challenges and ongoing mood difficulties.
Michele is the author of Look Inside: Stop Seeking Start Living and welcomes conversations in English or Spanish.

How Michele’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress and life changes because it focuses on practical action rather than trying to stop every uncomfortable thought. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and emotional responses. It can help when relationship patterns, intimacy concerns or attachment issues cause recurring distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Michele will discuss options and try methods that fit the client's goals and preferences. She aims to be collaborative, adjusting focus as practical needs and emotional aims become clearer over several sessions.
Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for conversation and face-to-face feeling, phone can be less bandwidth intensive, live chat allows quick check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make therapy more flexible for busy schedules, work breaks and clients who prefer shorter or more frequent contact.
