Michelle Thomas works with people in a warm, person-focused way. She uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches to help people cope better. Michelle is a counsellor with seven years' experience and holds NCPS as a credential.

She keeps sessions straightforward and tailored to each person’s needs. Michelle meets people where they are and treats them as the expert on their own life. She listens first and then helps set simple goals.

Background and approach

Sessions often focus on understanding what keeps a problem going and developing small, doable changes that make daily life easier. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and relationship and intimacy-related difficulties. She also works with issues such as self-esteem, addiction, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger and career stress.

Additional areas include ADHD, attachment and adoption-related concerns, chronic illness and body image worries. Michelle blends talking therapy with techniques such as mindfulness, hypnotherapy and emotionally-focused methods when these suit a person’s goals. She also uses motivational interviewing to support people making life changes.

The focus is practical - clearer thinking, calmer emotions and better day-to-day coping. Sessions are offered from the United Kingdom in English. People can choose from video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.

Michelle encourages a collaborative course of work and supports people to build new skills they can use after therapy finishes.

Approaches that suit online therapy and everyday life

Michelle commonly blends Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, understanding and building a trusting working relationship so the person feels heard and valued. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and teaches straightforward strategies to change unhelpful patterns.

She may also draw on Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship or intimacy-related issues are prominent. EFT helps people recognise and name emotions and then practise new ways of responding in close relationships to reduce conflict and increase connection.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and suggest methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can need less bandwidth and suit shorter or more flexible check-ins, while chat and messaging make it easy to connect between appointments. These options offer practical flexibility for people juggling work, family or travel.
