About Michelle
Michelle Thomas is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with seven years' experience. She uses a warm, friendly style and adapts sessions to what each person needs. Michelle treats people as the experts in their own lives and helps them work toward practical goals.
Her approach blends talking therapy with techniques that build coping skills. She often focuses on mood and anxiety concerns, including depression and stress. Sessions look at patterns that keep problems going and introduce small, usable tools to change them.
Background and approach
Michelle works with relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem and body image concerns, and struggles such as addiction and anger. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, sleeping difficulties and career stress. Her wider interests include attachment and abandonment themes and caring for people facing chronic illness or ageing challenges.
She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to create a respectful, non-judgemental space. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical alternatives. Mindfulness and hypnotherapy techniques are offered when useful to teach relaxation and focus.
Sessions are available in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Costs vary by location and are handled through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange times that suit both parties.

Online support
She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT offers clear, practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new coping habits, useful for depression, anxiety and stress.
Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. The therapist will talk through options, try techniques in session and adjust plans based on how helpful they feel. The aim is to find a style and pace that match the client's needs and goals.
Online therapy offers flexibility across video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video lets you see facial cues and work more directly, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who find typing easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family or travel schedules and to continue progress from different locations.
