Michelle Caleb

Michelle Caleb is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem issues, grief, eating-related worries, career uncertainty and life changes, including ADHD-related struggles. She also supports people with intimacy and communication difficulties and those navigating LGBTQ issues.

Michelle practises from a person-centred approach. She listens without judgment and focuses on what the client says matters most. Sessions concentrate on the client’s experience and on building on the individual’s own strengths and resources.

In practice she uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and reactions without getting overwhelmed. She also draws on solution-focused methods to help set small, practical steps towards immediate goals. These approaches are offered alongside her person-centred work rather than as separate programmes.

Michelle has worked with a wide range of personal concerns, including attachment and abandonment worries, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, caregiving stress, codependency and issues around separation or blended families. She describes sessions as places to talk through what feels most pressing and to try out different ways of coping.

Her work suits people uncertain about next steps in work or life who want to talk things through and test practical changes. To begin, the process involves a short matching questionnaire and booking an initial session to see how the approach fits the person’s needs.

How her person-centred, mindfulness and solution-focused methods work online

Michelle’s core approach is person-centred therapy. That means the session follows what the client brings and focuses on listening and acceptance to help people access their own resources. This approach is useful when someone feels stuck and wants to be heard while working out what matters next.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away by them. Mindfulness can be helpful for anxiety, stress and managing urges linked to addictions. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify small, achievable steps and quick experiments that move someone towards immediate goals, such as clearer communication or better daily routines.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Michelle helps clients decide together which methods suit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process may shift over time as short-term steps turn into deeper reflective work.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals offer online appointments that aim to match therapeutic needs with practical daily life.
