About Michelle

Michelle Taylor is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. She works with adults on a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions and anger. She also helps with self-esteem, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD and coping with life changes.

Her practice uses a Person-Centred approach, meaning conversations move at a pace the client prefers. Michelle aims to keep the client in control of how therapy develops and supports people over short or longer periods. Sessions focus on talking through what matters and building understanding of thoughts and feelings.

Michelle has experience supporting adults from varied backgrounds. She has worked extensively with people affected by domestic and sexual abuse and with those coping with bereavement. That background informs how she listens and responds to complex emotional material.

In sessions she works without judgement and with attention to the practical steps someone can take to manage difficult feelings. She will help people notice patterns, try small changes, and consider different ways to handle tense moments with others. The work is conversational and steady rather than directive.

People who come because they snap at loved ones, feel simmering resentment, or struggle with someone else’s anger can expect straightforward discussion and practical strategies. Michelle supports clients who want clearer boundaries, better stress management, or improved emotional regulation. To begin, clients use the site's booking flow and a short matching questionnaire to arrange an initial session.

How sessions work

Client-Centred work and online sessions

Michelle works from a Person-Centred perspective. That means the conversation follows the client’s pace and priorities. It is useful for people wanting to make sense of strong feelings, such as anger or grief, and who prefer to lead what they discuss.

The Person-Centred approach focuses on listening, reflecting back what the client says, and supporting them to find their own ways forward. This approach can help when someone wants to understand patterns of reactivity, develop clearer boundaries, or explore difficult events like abuse or bereavement.

Finding the right style of work is part of therapy. Michelle will talk with clients about aims and preferences and help decide which approach fits best. That discussion is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses, so the plan can be adjusted to suit current needs.

The biography does not specify session formats. Please confirm the available online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a weekday, have a shorter check-in between commitments, or avoid travel time. Discussing how sessions will fit with daily life is part of the initial matching conversation, and registered or accredited professionals can help recommend practical arrangements that suit each person.
