About Michelle
Michelle Sewell offers an integrative counselling style that adapts to what each person needs. She blends different approaches so sessions focus on practical change or deeper personal understanding, depending on the client. This flexible way of working aims to meet immediate concerns while also looking at longer standing patterns.
She has four years of experience and holds BACP registration, which is noted as BACP. Michelle combines client-centred listening with techniques from cognitive behavioural work and emotionally focused ideas.
Background and approach
She also draws on mindfulness and psychodynamic thinking when these fit the issue being explored. Typical matters she helps people with include stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties, along with anger and self-esteem problems. She also supports those facing grief, major life changes, parenting stress and compassion fatigue.
Additional focuses include attachment concerns, body image, workplace pressures and issues around commitment and communication. In sessions Michelle aims to create an accepting, non-judgemental space where people can think things through and try new ways of coping. Some people want short-term, solution-focused work while others prefer to look into past experiences that shape how they relate now.
She explains options and agrees a plan together. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is then arranged according to therapist availability and the subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How Michelle works online
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Michelle will discuss what matters most to the person and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. Decisions about style and pace are made collaboratively so the plan can change as progress is made.
If you are thinking about online sessions, please confirm the exact session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every session. Many people find the convenience helps them keep continuity with appointments while still doing meaningful therapeutic work.
