Michelle King

Michelle King is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who helps people feeling lonely, anxious or overwhelmed. She works with adolescents and adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, ADHD and related challenges. Her style is calm and direct, aiming to make appointments feel manageable and practical.

Michelle offers one-to-one counselling that can be short term or longer term depending on what each person needs. Sessions focus on what the client brings, whether that is current worries, difficult memories, or problems in relationships and daily life. She uses talking together, creative methods and strategy-based work as needed.

Her practice is rooted in a person-centred way of working. That means Michelle listens closely and follows the client’s priorities while offering gentle, respectful challenges to encourage new perspectives. She also looks at how past experiences might shape present behaviour and relationships.

There is an emphasis on making progress that fits real life. Michelle helps people build clearer thinking, steadier routines and more useful coping steps. She aims to support growth in small, achievable ways rather than promise quick fixes.

Michelle has eight years of clinical experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Michelle’s practice is rooted in person-centred work, which focuses on listening, following what matters to the client and responding with empathy. This approach helps people clarify their feelings, make choices and feel heard during difficult moments.

She also uses creative therapy techniques alongside talking-based work. Creative methods can mean using art, drawing or other expressive tools to help people find words for complex feelings and to discover new ways of understanding themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michelle will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and will adapt the mix of talking, creative exercises and practical strategies as therapy progresses.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy around work, study or caregiving, because they can reduce travel time and allow easier scheduling. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins when needed, the ability to choose whether to use video or audio, and keeping therapy sessions as part of an everyday routine.
