Michelle Allard, BACP

Michelle Allard is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief and anger. She also supports those dealing with addictions, issues around intimacy, body image and sleep, plus concerns tied to parenting, self‑esteem and major life changes. Michelle practices with a focus on thoughts and everyday habits to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping.

Her approach is collaborative and down‑to‑earth. Sessions centre on what a person is experiencing now and how past experiences might still shape current feelings and reactions. She uses a mix of methods to suit each person rather than one fixed style, and she aims to create a calm space where people feel heard and respected.

Michelle draws on Attachment‑Based, Client‑Centered and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to tackle recurring problems. That may include looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, strengthening emotional connections, and building practical habits for day‑to‑day life. Sessions can be short‑term for a specific problem or longer term for deeper issues, moving at the client’s pace.

She holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP. Michelle has four years of experience working with the concerns listed here. She welcomes people from different backgrounds and accepts international clients in English.

How Michelle’s approaches fit online work

Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. Online sessions can use this approach to spot patterns in close relationships and try different responses in day‑to‑day life. Client‑Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship, helping people feel heard and accepted as they sort through what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and habits, offering practical tools to test new ways of thinking and behaving that can reduce anxiety, low mood and problematic routines.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk through your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. That collaborative decision is revisited as you go to make sure the approach still fits your needs.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into a busy week, lets them build skills between meetings, and makes it easier to keep momentum when life is hectic. Some formats also allow shorter check‑ins or sessions that do not require video, which can suit quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists offering online work can help adapt exercises and homework so they are practical in everyday life.
