About Michele

Michele Attias is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She works in English and Spanish and aims to make clients feel heard and supported from the first contact. Michele also offers life coaching alongside counselling and has written a book called 'Look Inside: Stop Seeking Start Living'.

She draws on an integrative, client-centred approach and blends techniques to suit each person. Sessions address practical day-to-day problems such as overthinking, low energy, poor concentration and time-management. Michele encourages clear decision-making and action so people can reduce overwhelm and find more balance.

With 20 years of experience, Michele brings a broad practice that covers mood concerns, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, addiction and work-related difficulties. She also works with specific focuses including attachment issues, body image, ADHD and aspects of alternative sex culture. She frames these areas as matters to talk through together and find workable steps forward.

Michele uses a holistic view that considers physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs. She discusses length of therapy with each person and can offer shorter or longer-term support depending on what they prefer. Sessions aim to boost energy, focus and day-to-day functioning.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, stress and patterns of avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current reactions, which can be useful for intimacy-related concerns and attachment issues. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions and emphasises a non-judgemental, empathetic space to talk through life problems.

Michele treats finding the right way of working as a shared task. She will discuss your concerns, goals and preferences and together decide which approaches to use. This collaborative process helps tailor the work to what actually fits you rather than forcing a single method.

If you are considering online therapy, check the site's booking flow to confirm the formats Michele currently offers before scheduling. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments can happen around work or family commitments. Many people find similar progress online when the therapist and client agree on goals and pace.
