About Michaela
Michaela Probert welcomes people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure what is wrong. She writes plainly and listens carefully so clients can talk about worries, low mood, relationship strain or any specific issue. Michaela uses a calm, non-judgemental style to help people find small, practical steps forward.
She works from an integrative base and draws on several therapy ideas. That means sessions might include noticing thoughts and behaviours, exploring early attachment patterns, or focusing on personal values and action.
How Michaela works
Conversations are paced to suit each person and aim to build confidence and self-awareness. Michaela has five years of clinical experience and holds BACP registration, which is listed as BACP. Her background covers common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and grief.
She also supports people with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stresses, career worries and sleep problems. Additional focus areas include trauma and abuse, ADHD, attachment issues, body image and care‑giver strain. Michaela also works with themes like abandonment, adoption and blended family challenges when these are part of an individual’s story.
She keeps language simple and practical in sessions so ideas can be tried between meetings. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, a matching process helps pair a person with a suitable therapist and then sessions are scheduled to fit around daily life.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in worry. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how these affect current connections and trust; it can help with intimacy issues, communication and attachment difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that suit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as therapy progresses so that the chosen approaches fit how someone prefers to work.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations, phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit those who prefer not to be on camera, live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These formats help people fit therapy around work, family or other commitments and make it easier to keep continuity of care when travel or schedules change.
