About Michelle
Counsellor and BACP member Michelle McGee has five years' experience working with people in the United Kingdom. She helps with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family issues, grief and loss, and other concerns listed below. Sessions are focused on clear, practical conversation rather than jargon.
Michelle keeps sessions straightforward and goal-focused. She listens to what matters most and helps people talk through immediate problems such as low mood, worry, coping with life changes and parenting strain. She also works with people facing trauma and abuse, intimacy-related worries, and concerns linked to sexual orientation.
Her background includes five years of professional work supporting people through transitions such as bereavement, separation and major health challenges. She also addresses issues like self-esteem, career stress, ADHD-related difficulties and communication problems within families.
Michelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts the pace to each person. Conversations will cover feelings, patterns and practical steps to manage day-to-day life. She can also help with specific situations such as blended family tensions, fertility and end-of-life caregiving stress.
Sessions are delivered in English and follow the standards associated with BACP membership. Before booking, clients should confirm the current session formats available. To begin, people follow the site's matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling works
Michelle describes her work as drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common approach is short-term, problem-focused work that looks at current symptoms and practical coping strategies. This is useful for issues like anxiety, stress and day-to-day mood management.Another approach is talking through past experiences to understand how they affect current relationships and trust. This kind of work helps with attachment issues, trauma responses and patterns that affect intimacy and communication.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, try out methods that fit those aims, and review progress together to adjust the plan as needed.
Session formats are not listed in the profile, so please confirm which options are available before you book. Many people find online sessions help fit counselling into work and family life because they remove travel time and can be scheduled around other commitments. Different formats can also suit quieter check-ins, shorter sessions or longer therapy blocks depending on what a client needs.
