Michelle King, BACP

Michelle King is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with eight years' experience. She works with adolescents and adults who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious or stuck. People often come to her for help with stress, grief, trauma, ADHD and life changes. Michelle offers one-to-one counselling and adapts the length of work to suit each situation.

Her practice aims to make each session straightforward and humane. Michelle uses a person-centred approach that puts the client's concerns at the centre of sessions. This can include creative methods, talking work and practical strategies, depending on what the client prefers and needs.

Michelle often looks at how past experiences influence present behaviour and relationships. She will invite gentle reflection where it helps, and offer respectful challenges to encourage insight and change. Sessions are shaped around what the client brings rather than a fixed agenda.

Alongside the core focus areas of stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and ADHD, Michelle has experience with abandonment and attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family issues, caregiver stress, communication and control problems, dissociation, divorce and separation, emptiness, family of origin concerns, fertility matters, first responder issues and gender dysphoria.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is shown as BACP. Michelle practises in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. To begin, clients follow the site's matching process and then schedule sessions according to her availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Michelle works from a person-centred base that focuses on what matters to the client. In plain terms this means she listens closely, mirrors what a person brings and follows their lead to build trust and clarity. This approach helps when someone feels overwhelmed, stuck or unsure about the next steps in their life.

She also uses creative techniques alongside talking and strategy-based work. Creative methods might include drawing ideas, using metaphors or gentle experiential exercises to help people access feelings and make sense of difficult experiences. Strategy-based work can involve planning coping steps, reflecting on patterns and trying small changes between sessions to test what helps.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle will check in about goals, preferences and what feels useful, then adapt methods over time as needs change. That shared decision-making helps shape a plan that fits each person's life and aims.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits. It can also be helpful for people who need flexible scheduling or quieter moments between other commitments.
