Michelle Kalam, BACP

Michelle Kalam is a Therapeutic Counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and anger. Sessions also address relationship strain, parenting concerns, career pressure and depression. Michelle offers help to people from LGBT backgrounds and accepts international clients.

Michelle uses everyday conversation and practical reflection to help people notice patterns that feed into their anger and frustration. She encourages straightforward steps to manage strong emotions, such as identifying triggers and practising breathing and grounding techniques. Sessions include talking through recent incidents, looking at past experiences that shape reactions, and trying out new responses in a calm setting.

She pays attention to how attachment difficulties, abandonment worries and communication problems can show up as anger. Michelle also supports people dealing with trauma, domestic violence aftermath, or caregiver stress where anger can be part of the picture. She can work with concerns around body image, eating, and impulse control when they relate to emotional overwhelm.

Practical life changes are part of the work too. The counsellor helps people plan steps for divorce and separation, end-of-life conversations, career transitions, or the pressures of parenting. These plans aim to reduce ongoing resentment and restore more constructive interactions at home and work.

Michelle describes her role as a collaborator in the process. She asks questions, reflects back what she hears, and helps people test simple behavioural adjustments between sessions. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary by location.
