About Michele
Michele Attias welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or burned out and who want practical support to feel more in control. She is a BACP counsellor and an author who works in English and Spanish. Michele aims to help clients make clearer choices and take manageable steps forward.
Michele uses a holistic, client-centred approach that looks at practical and emotional needs. She listens closely and adapts sessions to each person.
Background and approach
Sessions can focus on short-term problem solving or longer term personal growth depending on what the client wants. Over a 20 year career she has supported people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and major life changes. She also works with concerns such as addictions, self-esteem, career problems, bipolar and compassion fatigue.
Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, parenting challenges and neurodiversity related concerns. In practice Michele combines methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy with attachment-based and client-centred work. That mix is used to help clients notice thoughts and feelings, try new behaviours and improve important relationships.
Michele encourages straightforward, action-orientated sessions that aim to reduce overwhelm and increase focus, energy and decision-making. She supports people to set realistic goals and to try practical steps between meetings. If someone prefers to work in English or Spanish, Michele can offer both languages.

How Michele works online
She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people improve important relationships and the ways they connect with others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michele will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find video helpful for deeper conversation, while quieter or shorter formats can suit a quick update or a workplace break. Confirm which formats are offered when you schedule so the sessions fit your day.
