About Michelle
Michelle King welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or unsure where to turn. She helps with common struggles such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, coping with life changes and ADHD. Michelle works with adults and adolescents and aims to make the first steps easier to take.
Michelle uses a person-centred approach that focuses on the individual's needs and priorities. Sessions can be short term or longer term depending on what someone needs.
Background and approach
She combines talking work with creative methods and practical strategies when these suit the person in front of her. In sessions Michelle listens without judgement and offers gentle, respectful challenges to help people understand themselves better. She may also look at past experiences to see how they influence current behaviour and relationships.
The emphasis is on helping people make sense of difficult feelings and find ways to move forward. Michelle has eight years' experience as a psychotherapeutic counsellor and also works as a clinical supervisor. Her background includes supporting people with self-harm, neurodivergence and a wide range of emotional difficulties.
She brings that practical experience into one-to-one work. Michelle is accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and are based in the United Kingdom.

How Michelle works online
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle will discuss options with each person and adapt what she does to match their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful in sessions. That shared decision-making helps shape a plan that fits the individual's needs.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people access support from where they are based in the United Kingdom and keep continuity of care when life circumstances change.
