About Michele Findley

Michele Findley is a neurodivergent-affirming therapist based in the United Kingdom with seven years of clinical experience and accreditation from the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and major life transitions, bringing a calm and compassionate presence to each session.

With a trauma-informed focus, Michele is trained in EMDR, a therapy often used for PTSD, complex trauma and abuse. She also applies EMDR when supporting clients with phobias, social anxiety and panic-related problems. Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including grief, low self-worth, intrusive thoughts, addiction, anger management and the emotional impact of long-term health conditions.

Michele frames therapy around respect, sensitivity and collaboration, recognising that every person’s journey is different. She tailors conversations and treatment plans to each individual’s needs and goals, drawing on approaches that suit the client’s preferences and circumstances. Her work also spans relationship and family challenges, caregiving stresses, neurodivergent-affirming support and issues related to identity and intimacy. Michele aims to create a supportive space where people can explore their experiences and take steps toward growth and greater wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters most to them and develop practical ways to act in line with those values while accepting difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships that originate from early bonds with caregivers and focuses on building safer, more secure ways of connecting - this approach can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment issues and attachment-related distress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens deeply and supports the client’s own capacity for growth; it is especially helpful for building self-esteem, processing grief and navigating life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michele will work together with clients to understand their needs, goals and preferences and tailor methods accordingly so that therapy feels like a good fit.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions via video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit support around work, family and other commitments and to access licensed professionals from different locations. These options allow clients to engage with therapy in ways that suit their comfort and schedule while still receiving focused, professional care.
