About Michelle
Michelle Taylor is a person-centred counsellor who helps people find steady ground when life feels overwhelming. She uses a calm, patient approach and lets each person set the pace. Michelle aims to make the first steps easier by answering questions and helping people feel more in control of the process.
Her sessions focus on what matters to the individual. Michelle listens without judgement and works to build a trusting relationship. That relationship becomes the basis for people to explore difficult feelings and make sense of painful experiences.
Michelle draws on 11 years of experience working with adults from different backgrounds. She has focused work supporting people affected by domestic and sexual abuse and by bereavement. Over time she has helped people facing stress, anxiety, depression and a wide range of other challenges.
Client-Centred Therapy guides her way of working. In practice this means offering empathy, acceptance and the space to talk through issues at a pace that suits each person. The aim is to help people notice options and make choices that feel right for them.
She also supports concerns linked to relationships, addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting pressures, anger and self-esteem. Michelle is based in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Person-Centred work and online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor offers empathy, acceptance and non-judgement while the person sets the pace and decides what to bring to each session. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns and sleep difficulties by giving space to talk things through and notice what matters most.Michelle will treat finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will listen to needs, goals and preferences and help decide which ways of working feel most helpful. The aim is to adapt the sessions so they fit the person's life and priorities rather than applying a rigid method.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around daily routines and avoiding travel time, which can make it easier to maintain regular appointments. Online work can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that suit quieter environments and lower bandwidth.
