Michele Findley helps people who feel overwhelmed by worry, low mood, or big life changes. She meets each person with calm attention and practical guidance. Michele uses straightforward conversation to help clients feel more steady and able to cope.
She draws on seven years of experience working with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship problems. Michele also supports people facing trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, sleep and eating difficulties, and the challenges of parenting or caregiving.
Background and approach
She works with issues linked to identity and intimacy, including LGBT concerns and attachment difficulties. Michele mixes several well-known approaches to suit each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used for practical skill building and changing patterns that keep problems going. Her style is client-centred and emotionally attuned. Michele aims to make sessions feel collaborative and down to earth.
She listens for what matters to each person and shapes the work around their goals. Michele offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Work is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.
She is registered with the BACP, which is shown as BACP in her credentials. To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the therapist's timetable. The service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary by location and therapist availability.
How Michele’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, and supports commitment to values-led actions. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills and experiments to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on identifying and reshaping emotional responses, which can help with relationship and intimacy-related concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michele will talk with each person about their needs, goals and how they prefer to work. She aims to build a plan together and may draw on more than one approach as the work proceeds.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and deeper conversational work, while phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can fit around busy days and make it possible to keep momentum between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules and needs, and let people choose what feels most practical for them.
