About Michelle
Michelle Lindsay is a counsellor and a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers calm, steady support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and trauma. Michelle writes plainly and listens closely so people feel heard and respected.
She draws mainly on client-centred practice and existential ideas to help people understand what matters to them. That means sessions focus on the person’s experience and their sense of meaning.
Background and approach
Michelle aims to build a warm, relational space where someone can talk through painful memories, relationship trouble, or changes at work or home. Her work has covered common concerns such as self-esteem, grief, anger, parenting pressures, career stress and aspects of neurodiversity such as autism and ADHD.
She also supports people facing issues like abandonment, body image, chronic illness, caregiving stress and gender dysphoria. Michelle’s practice is practical; she helps people notice patterns, weigh options and try new ways of coping. With four years of professional experience, Michelle blends a human-centred stance with existential reflection.
She will work alongside someone to clarify goals and decide how to proceed. The process is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. If someone is ready to take a first step, Michelle asks them to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to her availability.
Sessions are offered in English in the United Kingdom.

How Michelle works online
Existential Therapy focuses on questions about meaning, choice and personal responsibility. It helps people facing life changes, grief or a sense of emptiness to make sense of their next steps and clarify values. That perspective is often useful alongside practical coping work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate on a plan based on goals and preferences. Together they decide what to try and review progress as sessions continue.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep therapy alongside work or family routines more conveniently. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists use different ways to offer remote sessions, so check the available formats and schedule that suit everyday life.
