About Michelle

Michelle Sewell helps people who feel stuck or who are facing difficult life moments. She works with issues such as stress, anxiety, relationships, anger, self-esteem, grief and parenting concerns. Michelle practices in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years of professional experience.

Michelle uses an integrative approach, drawing on different therapies to match each person's needs. She combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas support exploration of feelings in close relationships, while mindfulness methods help with grounding and managing stress.

In sessions she invites practical problem solving alongside deeper reflection. That might mean setting short-term goals and steps, or looking at past experiences that affect present behaviour. She aims to work collaboratively so people feel involved in decisions about therapy techniques and pace.

Michelle has experience addressing a wide range of concerns beyond core areas, including attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, commitment and control issues, and workplace struggles. She also supports people coping with pregnancy and childbirth changes, panic attacks, midlife reassessment and the aftermath of separation.

Sessions are conducted in English and Michelle does not take international clients. Costs vary with location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.

How Michelle uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions

Michelle often combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can make their own sense of things, which helps with low self-esteem and life decisions. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety and manage stress.

She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas to look at feelings within relationships and mindfulness practices to support regulation and presence. Each approach is used in straightforward ways, for example through reflective discussion, behavioural experiments or simple grounding exercises that can be practised between meetings.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to agree what methods fit a person's goals and preferences. That means treatments can change as needs become clearer, and practical steps are agreed together.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into busy days, for example by reducing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or avoiding the need to be on camera if someone prefers phone contact. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often offer these practical advantages while keeping the focus on what helps in day-to-day life.
