About Michaela
Michaela Probert is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people feeling low, overwhelmed, or stuck. She invites quiet, honest conversation to work through specific issues or general distress. Her approach aims to help people feel heard and to find practical ways to cope day to day.
Michaela offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can reflect and make sense of what is happening for them. She listens with compassion and encourages people to notice their own strengths. Together she and the client look at small changes that can lead to steadier confidence and better self-management.
Her background includes five years of practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Michaela uses what she calls an integrative way of working. That means she draws on ideas from several approaches to match what each person needs.
Typical sessions focus on talking things through, building coping strategies, and trying practical techniques between appointments. She draws on methods such as cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance and commitment thinking, attachment-based perspectives and Jungian reflections, as appropriate for the person.
Michaela can support people with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, anger, self-esteem questions, sleeping difficulties and parenting strains. She also works with issues linked to trauma, LGBT matters, ADHD and a range of personality and attachment concerns.

How these approaches work online and in session
Michaela draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that matter to them. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes by focusing on values and small practical steps.She also uses a client-centred approach that prioritises being listened to without judgement. This way of working helps people feel understood and build trust, which can open space for exploring relationship and self-esteem concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michaela aims to collaborate with each person to decide what fits best based on needs, goals and preferences. Sessions may blend methods so the plan can change as progress is made.
