About Michelle
Michelle Allard is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and low mood. She also supports clients dealing with relationship strain, grief, anger, addictions and parenting concerns. Michelle works with people who are navigating identity issues including LGBT and gender dysphoria, and with those facing body image, intimacy or self-esteem struggles.
Michelle uses a blend of approaches so therapy is tailored to each person.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on how past experiences shape current feelings and patterns. She helps people notice repeating cycles and untangle behaviours that get in the way of daily life. Her style is calm and collaborative.
She listens first, then helps people set practical steps they can try between appointments. Some people come for short-term focused work, while others choose longer-term support; timing is decided together. Michelle practises with attention to attachment and the here-and-now, and she draws on cognitive tools when helpful.
She encourages clients to recognise strengths and build on them. The goal is clearer choices and more confidence when handling difficult moments. With four years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy BACP, Michelle aims to create a space where people feel heard and respected.
She supports clients as they take steps toward change and greater wellbeing.

Approaches Michelle lists

How attachment, client-centred and CBT work online
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand how early relationships shape current reactions and connection patterns. Online sessions can focus on recognising these patterns and trying new ways of relating to others.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace, helping them feel heard and supported while they find their own answers.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy uses practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. In online work CBT tools translate well to homework tasks, thought records and short experiments between sessions.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Michelle will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods as therapy progresses, making choices collaboratively so the plan fits the person’s needs.
Online formats offer real flexibility. Video calls give face-to-face interaction, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat can suit brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and different daily rhythms, while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
