About Michelle
Michelle McAllister works in the United Kingdom and brings a personable, client-focused approach to counselling. She holds NCPS as a credential and has four years of professional experience. Michelle aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive for people who are worried or uncertain.
She often helps with stress and anxiety, low mood and depression, and problems with self-esteem and motivation. Relationship concerns, grief and loss, and feelings of isolation are also common topics she addresses.
Background and approach
Michelle adapts conversations and plans to what each person needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Her practical work draws on talking-based methods that focus on understanding a person now and how the past may affect current feelings. She also uses techniques that look at thoughts and behaviours to reduce distress and find small, achievable changes.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on the next steps a person can try between meetings. Michelle treats people with respect and sensitivity and keeps sessions calm and direct. She supports those facing issues such as abandonment or attachment difficulties, body image and caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication or control problems, and separation or divorce.
She also helps with guilt, shame, impulsivity, and questions about life purpose. People who choose to work with Michelle can expect a collaborative relationship where goals are agreed together. She encourages honest conversation and practical plans that fit everyday life, helping people move towards clearer thinking and more manageable days.

How Michelle works online
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different ways of working, and agree a plan that fits your needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit conversations into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when helpful. Some people find it simpler to join a session without travelling, while others prefer longer, more focused meetings; the therapist will discuss what suits your routine and aims.
