About Michele
Michele Kavanagh is a BACP counsellor who offers warm, person-centred care. She aims to make the first step easier for people who feel overwhelmed or unsure about therapy. Michele keeps things straightforward and listens for what matters most to each person.
Michele uses an integrative approach that blends different methods to suit individual needs. She draws on client-centred work to create a non-judgemental space where people can talk openly about their thoughts and feelings. Cognitive behavioural ideas help when unhelpful thoughts and routines are getting in the way of sleep, mood or daily functioning.
Sessions often focus on immediate concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and anger. Michele also supports people dealing with life changes, grief, relationship and intimacy difficulties, and issues linked to caregiving and compassion fatigue. Sleeping problems are included among her areas of interest and may be explored alongside other concerns.
Her style is empathetic and down-to-earth. Michele aims to reflect how clients see their situation so they feel genuinely heard. She encourages practical steps as well as space to work through emotions.
With four years' experience, Michele works within an ethical framework set out by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She speaks English and provides services from the United Kingdom. To begin, people are invited to complete the site's matching process and schedule sessions according to availability.
How Michele's approaches work online
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how early connections shape present trust and closeness. This can help people who find it hard to feel safe with others or who repeat painful relationship patterns.Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person make sense of their feelings, which suits issues like low self-esteem and coping with change.
Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours that keep problems going. It offers practical techniques to manage anxiety, mood and sleep routines, and can be useful for tackling unhelpful habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele will discuss the different methods and decide together which fits the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying a few ways of working to see what helps most.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support consistent work on sleep, stress and emotional patterns while keeping appointments within daily routines.
