About Michelle
Michelle McAllister is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience and an NCPS credential. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, and depression. Michelle aims to offer a respectful and compassionate space for people thinking about change.
She uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client’s goals at the centre of the conversation. That means sessions focus on what feels most important to the individual and the therapist adapts to the pace that suits them.
Background and approach
Michelle combines practical cognitive behavioural techniques with insight-oriented psychodynamic ideas. This mix helps people manage anxious thoughts, improve day-to-day coping, and look at patterns that may underlie recurring difficulties. Solution-focused strategies are also part of her toolkit.
These help set small, achievable goals and build momentum when someone feels stuck or unmotivated. In sessions Michelle pays attention to issues such as abandonment and attachment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, communication problems, control struggles, and feelings of isolation. She also supports people dealing with divorce, guilt, shame, and finding life purpose.
Michelle tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs. She encourages honest, practical dialogue and helps people take the next steps toward a happier, more fulfilling life.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, a practical method that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT tools can help with managing anxiety, negative thinking and unhelpful habits through exercises and short homework tasks.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will talk through options and adapt methods based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. The aim is to find a way of working that feels useful and manageable for the individual.
Online therapy with Michelle is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer conversations and face-to-face contact, phone can be a good option when lower bandwidth is needed, live chat suits quicker check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing reflection without scheduling a full session. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit around everyday life.
