About Michaela
Michaela Probert welcomes people who feel low, overwhelmed, or stuck and want someone to talk things through. She writes in a straightforward way and offers a calm space to reflect. Michaela uses a gentle, non-judgemental approach that aims to help people reconnect with their own strengths and move towards clearer goals.
Michaela is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. She has five years of experience and draws on several approaches so sessions can be shaped around each person's needs.
Background and approach
She listens, offers compassion, and works to help clients try new ways of managing difficult feelings. Her practice incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, Client-Centred work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Jungian perspectives. This mix allows practical coping strategies alongside deeper reflection about patterns and meaning.
Michaela often helps with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting concerns and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, career change, identity and a range of attachment or relationship difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom.
The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; fees vary by location and therapist availability. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Michaela works online
She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which places the client's experience at the heart of sessions and aims to provide empathic, non-judgemental listening. Together with the client she will discuss which approaches fit best and adapt them as work progresses. Figuring out the right style is collaborative and can change as goals evolve.
If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking because the biography does not list formats. Many people find remote therapy easier to fit into busy lives, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals can also mix practical tools and reflective work effectively online, helping clients apply coping strategies between sessions and track progress over time.
