About Michele
Michele Kavanagh offers an approachable, integrative therapy style that centres on building trust and understanding. She holds BACP accreditation and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and welcomed. Michele listens carefully and helps people feel genuinely heard as they work through difficult issues.
Her sessions focus on everyday problems like stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with depression, grief, trauma and difficulties around intimacy.
How Michele works
Practical concerns such as sleep problems, anger, career stress and addictions are also part of her practice. Michele uses a blend of approaches to suit each person. That can include talking through relationship or communication problems, noticing patterns from past experiences, and using clear strategies to manage upsetting thoughts and feelings.
The goal is to help people find small, realistic changes that make life easier. People often meet Michele when life transitions feel overwhelming. She also works with those facing caregiver strain, divorce or separation, and issues of guilt, forgiveness or finding purpose.
Sessions aim to be non-judgemental and compassionate while staying practical and grounded. With four years of experience, Michele brings steady support and straightforward care. She encourages people to take the next step at a pace that feels right.
Her approach is warm, respectful and focused on understanding each person’s experience.

Online support options
How Michele's approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early relationships shape current ones. Michele uses this to help people notice patterns in how they connect and feel more supported in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers clear techniques to reduce anxiety, manage low mood and improve sleep.Michele treats finding the right approach as a joint process. She will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then shape sessions around those needs. That collaborative planning helps tailor therapy as things change over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people meet face to face from wherever works best, phone sessions fit around breaks or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging allow shorter check-ins and quick support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a routine and to keep continuity while working towards clear, achievable goals.
