About Michele
Michele Attias is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and major life changes. She works in English and Spanish and aims to create a calm, supportive space where clients feel heard. Michele draws on two decades of practice to guide people through practical steps and clearer choices.
Michele combines several approaches to suit each person’s needs. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values.
How Michele works
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to break cycles of anxious thinking and build new routines. She also brings attachment-informed thinking to relationship and intimacy concerns. Sessions include goal setting and simple, practical exercises to try between meetings.
Michele often covers time management, concentration skills and ways to reduce overwhelm. She also supports people managing addictions, bipolar symptoms, body-image worries and the emotional impact of illness. Michele’s style is warm, attentive and energetic.
She helps people become clearer decision-makers and take achievable actions without added pressure. Clients choose shorter or longer-term work depending on what they want to achieve. She accepts international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
Costs vary by location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support options
Therapy approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in avoidance; it can support anxiety, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on changing thinking patterns and behaviour in small, practical steps to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood or sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and is useful for intimacy, trust and communication concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele will talk with clients about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress unfolds, aiming for a collaborative plan that fits the person’s needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions let people work face-to-face from different locations, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer meetings. These options help people fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping consistent contact with a therapist.
