About Michaela
Michaela Probert is a BACP counsellor with five years' practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people feeling overwhelmed, low, or stuck, and with those who have specific concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, grief or career worries. She also supports people facing issues around self-esteem, trauma and abuse, LGBT matters, ADHD and parenting pressures.
Michaela frames sessions as a chance to talk things through without being advised what to do. She listens and reflects rather than tells someone the answer. Conversations aim to clarify what matters to the person and to identify small, practical ways to manage day-to-day difficulties, for example with coping techniques for stress or strategies for difficult conversations.
Her practice draws on a mix of approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is applied for pattern spotting and skill-building around mood and anxiety. Attachment-based ideas are brought in to look at relationship patterns and how early connections affect current reactions.
Michaela also uses client-centred and Jungian-influenced ways of working, which give space to the person’s own meanings and personal story. Sessions are conversational and reflective, with practical tools offered where useful. The aim is to help people regain confidence and manage problems more effectively.
Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and practical details. The therapist works in English and practices within the UK under the BACP framework.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Michaela uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that line up with their values. ACT can be useful for worries that fuel irritability and for learning new ways to respond rather than react.She also works with attachment-based ideas to explore relationship patterns and how early connections shape current responses. That approach can help people understand why certain situations trigger strong anger or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice concrete skills that reduce stress and low mood.
Finding the best way of working is part of the process. The therapist and client discuss which approaches fit the person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative decision and may evolve over a few meetings as priorities and practical needs become clearer.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises used in ACT and CBT to remote work, and attachment-focused conversations translate well to video or phone conversations.
