About Michelle
Michelle Sewell is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, self-esteem, grief and parenting concerns. She also supports people facing life changes and workplace pressure.
Michelle uses an integrative approach, blending methods so sessions match what each person needs. That can mean short-term solution-focused work to tackle a present problem. It can also mean looking at past patterns to help understand current reactions.
In sessions she listens to how anger shows up - snapping, building resentment, frustration at work, or difficulty after someone else expresses anger. Conversations aim to help people notice triggers, practise different responses, and reduce the hold of repeated patterns. Practical tools are used alongside reflective conversation.
Michelle draws on client-centred work to keep the conversation grounded in what matters to the client. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas are used to identify thoughts and habits that feed intense emotion. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps with feeling-understanding and improving communication in close relationships.
She also integrates mindfulness techniques and psychodynamic thinking when helpful, for calming, tracking patterns and making sense of deeper themes. Sessions are straightforward and conversational. To begin, clients pick the online therapy options button, complete a short questionnaire, and book a first appointment.
How sessions work
How Michelle uses evidence-based approaches online
Michelle often combines Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Client-Centred work focuses on the person's experience and keeps sessions grounded in what matters right now. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) when relationship issues are part of the picture. EFT helps people identify and name important emotions and practise clearer communication in close relationships. These approaches can be helpful for anger at work, snapping at loved ones, or resentment that builds over time.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, try approaches and adjust plans as progress is seen. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions remain relevant to their needs and day-to-day life.
