About Michelle
Michelle Reid is a counsellor with ten years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, relationships, family tensions, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She recognises that people know their own stories best and draws on their strengths in sessions.
Her way of working is practical and down-to-earth. Sessions aim to help people make sense of what is happening, build coping skills, and try new ways of communicating.
How Michelle works
She encourages small steps that fit into daily life rather than big, abrupt changes. Michelle has supported people facing abandonment and attachment concerns, and those managing autism and Asperger syndrome related challenges. She also helps with issues such as avoidant personality patterns, codependency, commitment worries and body image difficulties.
She offers help for people living with chronic pain, illness or disability and for those dealing with divorce, separation, domestic violence and blended family issues. Communication problems, control issues and coping after disasters are also within her remit. Sessions are conducted in English and are provided via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.
Michelle works with a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and fees vary by location and therapist availability.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and online access
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and better understanding of relationship patterns. One approach helps people identify and shift attachment and abandonment patterns by looking at how past relationships shape current responses; this can reduce repeated communication problems and commitment worries. Another approach concentrates on coping strategies for anxiety and stress, teaching short, usable skills to manage overwhelming feelings and to handle day-to-day demands.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore a person’s goals, preferences and life situation, and together they will try methods that fit. This collaborative process means techniques can be adapted over time as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs while keeping regular contact with a therapist.
