About Michele
Michele Findley offers warm, direct support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or big life changes. She speaks plainly and helps people find practical steps to cope. Michele aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone worried or uncertain about therapy.
She works from a place of respect and sensitivity, and adapts conversations to each person’s needs and goals. Michele uses a mix of methods to help people understand patterns, manage distressing thoughts, and make value-driven changes.
How Michele works
Sessions focus on what matters to the person and on workable skills they can use outside the session. Her seven years of experience include supporting people with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, and problems with self-esteem. Michele also helps with workplace stress, career decisions, compassion fatigue and the practical strain of caring roles.
She supports those facing neurodivergent-related issues and attachment concerns. Michele draws on cognitive and emotion-focused approaches alongside acceptance-informed methods and client-centred listening. This mix lets her balance practical coping strategies with space to process feelings.
She tailors each plan to the person rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. Sessions are available in English and she welcomes people from different countries. Michele describes work with a wide range of concerns, including ADHD-related struggles, bipolar mood issues, relationship and intimacy-related problems, and other complex presentations.
Her aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support options
Therapy approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and focus on actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and motivation struggles because it emphasises small, value-led changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful cycles. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleeping and eating issues. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding and changing emotional responses in relationships and in how someone connects with themselves, which can help with intimacy-related issues and attachment difficulties.Choosing the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how you respond to different ways of working. Over a few sessions you can trial approaches and agree a plan that fits your needs and pace.
Online therapy with Michele can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and energy levels. Video calls are helpful when visual cues matter, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, brief live chat can suit quick check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
