About Michelle
Michelle Allard helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship trouble, grief and anger. She also supports those dealing with addictions, body image and eating issues, sleeping problems, parenting strains, self-esteem concerns and life changes. Michelle works with people who are exploring gender identity and LGBT matters, and she has experience with trauma, family conflict and intimacy-related difficulties.
Michelle uses a tailored, collaborative way of working. She listens first, then adapts therapeutic ideas to each person's needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what is happening now and how past experiences shape current feelings and patterns. The aim is to untangle recurring struggles so people can take practical steps forward. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred principles and cognitive behavioural tools.
That mix lets her address emotions, relationships and the thoughts that feed distress. Michelle pays attention to strengths and practical coping strategies as well as understanding deeper patterns. She describes therapy as a pace set by the client, with options for brief focused work or longer-term exploration.
Michelle emphasises a calm atmosphere and clear listening so people feel heard and respected. The work is aimed at helping people feel more able to manage difficulties and make changes they want. Michelle holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded as BACP.
She has four years of professional experience working with people in the United Kingdom. If you would like to know more about how she works, a short matching questionnaire is the first step to arrange sessions.

How Michelle works online
Client-centred work emphasises being listened to without judgement. The therapist follows the person's lead, helping them find their own answers and build self-understanding and confidence.
Cognitive behavioural approaches look at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. They are useful for managing anxiety, low mood and habits that keep problems going by teaching practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. The process is collaborative so the plan can change as therapy progresses.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can still make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare and travel, reduce time spent commuting and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor session length and focus so the work slots into everyday life while addressing the issues you want to change.
