About Michelle
Michelle Taylor uses a person-centred approach as the basis of her work. She focuses on listening and helping people find their own way forward. Michelle keeps the pace gentle and lets each person lead the process so they stay in control of therapy.
She draws on 11 years of experience supporting adults through a wide range of problems. These include stress, anxiety, depression and grief, along with trauma and abuse.
How Michelle works
Michelle also helps people with relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, and managing life changes. Her practice includes work with people dealing with anger, low self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns and ADHD. She also supports those coping with parenting strain, career decisions, and worries about identity, including LGBT issues.
Practical problems such as panic attacks, self-harm, and substance issues are also within her focus. Michelle offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through painful experiences. She aims to build trust so clients can explore thoughts and feelings at their own speed.
Sessions are shaped around each person rather than a fixed timeline, so therapy can be short term or longer as needed. Her background includes focused work with survivors of domestic and sexual abuse, and with those facing bereavement and end-of-life concerns.
Michelle is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally in English.

Online support options
Person-centred support online and how it helps
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and creating a respectful, non-judgemental space. The counsellor follows your lead and helps you explore feelings and choices at a pace that suits you. This approach is useful for issues like depression, anxiety, grief, and relationship difficulties because it centres on what matters to you. Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and how you like to work, then agree on a way forward together. That collaborative process can include short-term practical support or a longer course of exploration depending on what you need. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is close to an in-person conversation, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules, shift work, travel and differing daily routines, while allowing continuity of care across locations.Start online instead of waiting
