Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Michelle blends client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and hypnotherapy to create flexible, evidence-informed support. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and building a strong therapeutic relationship so clients feel heard and understood; it is often helpful for relationship issues, self-esteem and life transitions. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to work with subconscious patterns and can be useful for issues such as habit change, stress management and certain symptoms that respond to suggestion.Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapeutic process. Michelle works collaboratively with each person to explore goals, preferences and practical needs, and to adjust methods as therapy progresses so the plan fits the client rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged by video call or phone, and shorter or more immediate contact can happen via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments and to access licensed professionals from different locations, including international clients.
