About Michelle
Michelle Beard is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She offers straightforward, non-judgemental support for people feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, stress or relationship concerns. She speaks English and works with clients from different countries online.
Michelle uses practical conversations to help people find small, manageable changes. She listens first, then helps clients set clear goals and try new ways of thinking and behaving. Sessions are down-to-earth and aim to make day-to-day life easier.
Background and approach
Her style draws on client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness tools. That mix helps when someone is stuck in negative thoughts, struggling with mood, or trying to cope after loss or trauma. Motivational interviewing also informs her approach when clients want to make lasting changes, such as reducing harmful habits or building healthier routines.
Michelle has seven years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is listed as a credential. She has worked with people facing a wide range of concerns, including addiction, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
Cost varies with location and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle collaborates with each person to decide what methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a fixed formula.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy going around work, family and travel commitments.
