About Michelle
Michelle King is a counsellor with 17 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety and depression, and she offers steady support when life feels overwhelming. Michelle approaches conversations with respect, sensitivity and compassion.
Her way of working is practical and person-focused. Sessions centre on what matters most to the individual. She listens for patterns that affect mood and relationships, then helps clients try different ways of thinking and coping.
Background and approach
Michelle draws on several approaches to shape therapy, including attachment-focused ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, dialectical behaviour tools and mindfulness. She adapts methods to each person's needs rather than following a single script. This means sessions can include short skills practice, reflective talk, or exercises to notice thoughts and feelings.
People come for help with trauma or abuse, relationship and attachment issues, exhaustion from caregiving, low self-esteem, and problems with control or communication. Michelle also supports those facing life transitions such as divorce, midlife change, or questions about life purpose. Michelle holds BACP accreditation, which is a recognised professional credential in the UK.
She offers sessions in English and works with people over video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a session is scheduled based on availability.

Online support
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle will listen to goals and preferences, then suggest techniques from attachment work, CBT or mindfulness that fit the person. Together they decide what to try and adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for ongoing check-ins, journalling support or when someone prefers written conversation. These formats give flexibility to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments and still use the same therapeutic tools as in-person work.
