About Michelle
Counsellor Michelle Saunders is a member of NCPS and has six years of counselling experience. She works with people in the United Kingdom on stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes.
Michelle draws on straightforward counselling approaches. Sessions focus on listening and responding to what the person brings. She offers space to talk about trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and eating or body image concerns. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue and the strain of caregiving.
Her background includes long experience in health-care settings, from nurseries to A&E and intensive care. That experience shaped a practical way of working with worry, motivation and emotional overwhelm. Michelle uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow the person’s lead in sessions.
She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find reasons to change and to build confidence. Solution-Focused Therapy is used when someone wants clear, short-term goals and steps to try between sessions. These methods are brought together to match what each person needs.
Michelle works in English and does not take international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions are arranged via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How Michelle uses her approaches in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says. It helps when someone needs a place to talk through feelings and to be heard without pressure.Motivational Interviewing helps people find practical reasons to change. It works well for issues such as motivation, addiction-related concerns and making difficult decisions. Solution-Focused Therapy looks at small, achievable steps and short-term goals to move forward between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michelle will discuss what seems most useful and adapt methods to a person's needs, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may change as the work progresses.
The biography does not list which exact session formats she uses, so confirm options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people choose a method that suits their day-to-day life while still working with a registered professional.
