Michelle King

Michelle King is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years' experience working with adults and adolescents. She supports people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, life changes and ADHD. Michelle also addresses related concerns such as attachment and abandonment, family of origin problems, and communication difficulties.

She offers one-to-one counselling for either short or longer term work depending on what a person needs. Sessions mix talking work with practical strategies. Creative methods may also be used alongside discussion when that helps someone express difficult feelings.

Michelle uses a person-centred approach as her foundation. That means sessions focus on what the client brings and on responding to those concerns in a respectful way. She can gently challenge unhelpful patterns and help people make sense of how past experiences affect current behaviour and relationships.

People commonly come to her feeling lost after loss, overwhelmed by anxiety, or unsure about what comes next in life or work. She supports those facing neurodivergent related challenges, caregiver stress, fertility and separation issues, and concerns linked to first responder roles. Sessions aim to increase understanding and practical coping skills.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and the cost varies with location.

How Michelle uses talking and creative methods online

Michelle describes a person centred approach that keeps the client's concerns at the heart of the work. This style focuses on listening closely, reflecting what comes up, and responding to the issues someone brings in a respectful way. It suits people who want a steady, client-led conversation about what is most pressing for them.

She also uses practical strategy-based work. That involves identifying specific patterns or problems and trying straightforward techniques to manage symptoms such as anxiety or stress. Practical steps might include short behavioural tasks, organising thoughts differently, or rehearsal of communication approaches. Creative methods are another option and can provide non-verbal ways to express difficult feelings when words are hard to find.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as goals and needs become clearer. That collaborative way of working helps align sessions with day-to-day life and what someone hopes to achieve.
