About Michelle
Michelle Dunne is a Person-Centred counsellor and registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship issues. Michelle also supports those struggling with sleeping difficulties and other life changes, and she works to create a warm, non-judgemental space for people to talk.
Her approach is simple and direct. She listens closely and reflects back what she hears, helping clients make sense of painful or confusing feelings. Motivational Interviewing is also part of her practice, so she can help people explore motivation for change when they feel stuck.
Michelle brings three years of counselling experience and a background that includes work with crisis, trauma and sudden bereavement. That experience informs how she sits with grief and loss, and how she supports people through upheaval and major life transitions. She describes herself as open-minded and welcoming of diverse backgrounds and lifestyles.
She trained through recognised counselling courses and holds a BEd (Hons), diplomas in psychotherapeutic and therapeutic counselling, plus additional qualifications and CPD including suicide awareness and safeguarding. Michelle is based in the United Kingdom and is a registered member of the BACP.
Outside work she enjoys walking, travelling and time with her three dogs. Her own experiences, including a later autism diagnosis and blended-family life, shape a practical, empathetic way of working with people who need steady support while they make changes.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Michelle uses Person-Centred therapy to create a listening, accepting space where people can talk through feelings and thoughts. That approach focuses on being heard and understood, which can help with stress, anxiety, grief and issues around self-esteem.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what change they want and to build small, achievable steps. This method suits people who feel stuck or unsure how to move forward and works well alongside a listening-based approach.
Choosing the right way of working is part of the process, and Michelle will work with each person to find what fits best. Together they look at needs, goals and what feels practical, adjusting style and pace as the relationship develops.
