About Michele
Michele Kavanagh is a BACP counsellor who offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people feeling overwhelmed by change or low mood. She focuses on helping clients manage stress, anxiety and depression, and works to build confidence and clearer thinking. She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs.
Sessions aim to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and to feel understood. Michele listens carefully and reflects what she hears so clients feel genuinely heard rather than simply noticed.
Background and approach
Practical skills are offered alongside looking at deeper patterns. That can mean learning ways to cope with intense emotions, improving sleep, or addressing unhelpful thoughts. It can also mean thinking about past experiences that still affect daily life and relationships.
Michele supports people dealing with grief, trauma, compassion fatigue and addiction issues. She also helps with relationship strain, parenting stress, career worries and the guilt or shame that often follows major life changes. Sessions are run with respect and steadiness.
Michele encourages small, manageable steps and a pace set by each person. If someone is taking their first step into therapy, she aims to make that process easier and more hopeful.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Michele will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to use. This collaboration helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and manageable.
Online formats give practical flexibility. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation and allow visual cues, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit shorter reflections, day-to-day check-ins or when writing helps someone organise their thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel without losing therapeutic continuity.
