Michelle Fear

Michelle Fear is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, self‑esteem issues and questions around sexual orientation and identity. Michelle also lists life purpose among her focus areas and helps clients who feel stuck or uncertain about next steps.

She uses attachment-based and client-centred approaches to make conversations straightforward and focused. Sessions aim to clarify what matters now and what patterns from the past are still influencing daily life. Michelle draws on psychodynamic and trauma‑focused ideas when there are deeper wounds or repeated relationship difficulties to address.

Practical topics such as commitment issues, control, jealousy, and managing loneliness are brought into discussions alongside longer‑standing concerns like abandonment and attachment wounds. She also supports people coping with divorce, separation, domestic violence, dissociation, guilt, shame and fatherhood issues when these arise in individual work.

Sessions are conversational and aim to identify small, manageable changes. Michelle pays attention to feelings, relationship patterns and the stories people tell about themselves. That helps make sense of why certain choices feel hard and where a different step might be possible.

People who want to explore life purpose find she will invite concrete questions about values, work and relationships. The initial meetings focus on what the client wants to change and what they consider a useful next step.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment‑based work focuses on how early relationships shape current connections. It looks at patterns of closeness and distance and helps people see how these patterns show up in stress, commitment problems or feelings of abandonment. Client‑centred therapy puts the person’s perspective at the centre of sessions. The therapist listens for what matters to the client and follows their lead to set goals and next steps. Trauma‑focused work addresses past harms with attention to how memories and reactions affect day‑to‑day functioning and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michelle will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit the presenting concerns and the client’s preferences. Conversations in early sessions include what the client wants to achieve and what feels manageable, so the approach can be adjusted over time.

The original profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, making it easier to attend shorter check‑ins, or allowing sessions at times that suit work and family commitments. Some people prefer audio for lower bandwidth or simpler check‑ins, while others choose video to see facial cues; these practical choices are discussed at the start of the work to find what best supports each person.
