About Michelle
Michelle Taylor offers a person-centred approach that keeps the client in control of the pace and direction of therapy. She uses simple, compassionate conversation to help people describe what is worrying them and make sense of their feelings. Michelle aims to create a calm space where parents and individuals can talk openly and be listened to without judgement.
She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addiction, grief and parenting strains.
Background and approach
Michelle also supports people navigating trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem struggles and life transitions. Her practice includes work around attachment and abandonment, domestic violence, and bereavement care. Michelle brings 11 years of experience supporting adults from varied backgrounds.
Her background includes significant work with survivors of domestic and sexual abuse and with people needing end-of-life and hospice-related conversations. That experience informs a steady, patient style that aims to meet each person where they are. Sessions follow the principles of Client-Centred Therapy, so the individual sets the pace and topics.
Michelle helps people spot patterns, try small changes and build coping tools that fit their everyday life. She explains therapeutic ideas plainly and helps people put them into practice between sessions. Michelle is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works from the United Kingdom.
Conversations are carried out in English and she accepts international clients by arrangement.

Approaches Michelle lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Person-centred care and online access
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of the counsellor. It means the therapist follows the individual's pace, offers empathic understanding and helps people explore their own solutions. This approach suits issues like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns and parenting stress where being heard matters as much as strategies.Michelle will work collaboratively to find the most helpful way forward. She will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and adjust the approach as sessions progress. Deciding which methods to use is a shared process, not something imposed from the start.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video lets you read facial cues and have a fuller conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be quicker to arrange, live chat is useful for short check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, school runs and busy family life.
