About Michele
Michele Findley is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or life changes. She is approachable and direct, and focuses on practical steps parents can take to feel steadier at home and in their relationships. Michele works from what clients describe as a collaborative stance.
Conversations are guided by what matters most to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
She draws on approaches that encourage present-moment awareness, clearer thinking and stronger emotional bonds. Her background includes seven years of professional practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience includes supporting people through grief, trauma and addiction, and helping those coping with long-term health conditions.
Michele adapts methods to each person rather than using one fixed technique. Sessions can include talking through difficult moments, learning new ways to manage unhelpful thinking, and building actions that match personal values. She also pays attention to attachment patterns that shape parenting and close relationships.
People who work with Michele often focus on managing anxiety, improving self‑esteem, and navigating parenting challenges. She accepts clients from outside the UK and runs sessions by video, phone, live chat or messaging. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a suitable session time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions that reflect those values. It helps people who feel stuck, anxious or disconnected to build a more meaningful routine and tolerate difficult thoughts without being driven by them.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It gives simple, practical tools to reduce worry, change unhelpful thinking patterns and improve daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, helps people understand emotional responses and repair patterns that affect close relationships and parenting interactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele will discuss different methods and tailor them to your goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where you and the therapist decide what feels most useful and adjust as you go.
Online therapy offers a flexible way to access these approaches. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps the work. Phone sessions suit people with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when a shorter, written session fits a busy day. Together these options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work and other commitments.
