Approaches Michelle uses and how online therapy helps
Michelle often draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, accepting environment where clients set the pace and direction of their work. This approach is useful for people seeking support with self-esteem, relationship difficulties, or life transitions because it prioritises the client's own goals and insights.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress. CBT offers practical strategies and structured steps to build new ways of coping and responding to difficult situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Michelle will work with each person to explore which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts sessions over time as progress and circumstances evolve.
Online therapy with Michelle is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from wherever a client is located and can help maintain momentum between sessions while fitting therapy into everyday life.
