About Michelle
Michelle Thomas is a counsellor who uses an integrated, person-focused way of working. She meets people where they are and shapes sessions around each person’s needs. Michelle aims to help clients spot unhelpful patterns and build new coping tools for day-to-day life.
She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to make space for honest conversation and to centre what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps when thoughts and behaviours feed stress, anxiety or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used when relationship and intimacy issues are a focus.
Michelle has seven years of experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, trauma and relationship difficulties. She also works with issues such as chronic illness and pain, caregiving strain, sleeping problems, parenting pressures, ADHD and career strain.
Her practice also pays attention to areas like attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster-care experiences, body image, and identity matters including LGBT concerns. Sessions emphasise practical steps alongside reflection so clients leave with clearer ideas and new strategies.
Michelle is registered with NCPS and practises in the United Kingdom. She offers some evening and weekend appointments by request and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits
Michelle combines Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people understand feelings and change patterns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and creates space to talk things through without judgement. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship or intimacy issues are central. EFT helps people map emotional reactions and improves how they relate to others, which can ease conflict and strengthen connections. These approaches are chosen to match the concern and the person’s goals rather than a single fixed method.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Michelle will talk with each client about their aims and preferences and recommend a blend of methods that feels helpful. Clients and therapist review progress together and adjust the approach as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please check current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel commitments and can reduce time spent reaching appointments. It also allows for shorter check-ins when that suits the day, and video or audio sessions can be chosen depending on bandwidth and comfort with being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to help clients keep therapy as part of everyday life.
