About Michele

Michele Attias is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, sleep problems and life changes. She works in English and Spanish and aims to make clients feel listened to and supported from the first contact. Michele describes herself as caring, energetic and sensitive to each person's needs.

Her approach is client-centred and integrative. That means sessions focus on the whole person - physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual needs - and Michele uses a mix of techniques to suit what each person brings. She invites people to choose shorter or longer therapeutic work depending on their goals.

Over a 20 year career she has worked with common difficulties such as grief, depression, confidence issues, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting pressures, addictions, ADHD and challenges with career direction. She also attends to topics like body image, adoption and foster care, attachment issues and intimacy-related matters.

In sessions Michele helps people break out of overthinking, reduce overwhelm and take practical steps. She focuses on improving energy, focus and time management alongside emotional wellbeing. The work aims to make decision-making and daily actions feel clearer and less stressful.

She is the author of Look Inside: Stop Seeking Start Living and combines life coaching with counselling when that fits the client's aims. If someone is new to therapy or has tried it before, Michele offers a welcoming first conversation and collaborative planning of what comes next.

How Michele’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match what matters most. It can help with anxiety, overthinking and sleep-related worries. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early connections, helping people understand how those patterns affect current stress and intimacy issues. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work, giving space for being heard and for self-directed change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michele will discuss options and work together with the client to agree which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can change over time as needs shift and progress is made.

For practicalities, please confirm the exact session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt session work so conversations focus on what will make everyday routines and sleep patterns feel more manageable.
