About Michaela
Michaela Probert is a counsellor who supports people feeling low, overwhelmed, or unsure why things feel off. She speaks plainly and listens closely to help clients begin to make sense of their situation. Michaela works with common life problems including stress, anxiety and depression, and she also helps with relationship and parenting worries.
She uses a flexible, integrative approach that pulls from several well known methods. Sessions focus on exploring what matters to the client and finding small, practical steps to improve day to day life.
Background and approach
Michaela emphasises compassion and a non-judgemental attitude so people can talk freely about painful experiences. Michaela is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has five years' experience. She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside client-centred and attachment-informed ideas.
This mix lets her tailor sessions to each person's needs rather than following a single formula. In practice she helps people identify unhelpful patterns, build emotional awareness, and practise new ways of coping. Work may include noticing thoughts and values, trying brief exercises between sessions, and talking through relationship or family-related concerns.
The aim is to boost confidence and increase day-to-day functioning. Sessions are offered in English and held online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Michaela asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin, then schedules appointments that fit the client and the therapy plan.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work and is decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before, then tailor a plan that fits the client's needs. This collaborative process can include trying different techniques to see what feels most useful.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from a chosen location, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit around work. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and adapt session length and style to individual circumstances.
