About Michelle

Michelle Singh is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She has five years of clinical experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Michelle focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety and depression, and she also supports work on relationship and family concerns, self‑esteem, grief and trauma. She uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. Michelle often draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thoughts and everyday habits. She also works with acceptance and commitment principles to help people notice what matters to them, and she brings psychodynamic thinking when past patterns are getting in the way. Sessions are offered in English, and she is able to work with people in the UK as well as international clients. Michelle sees therapy as a collaborative process where the person’s own knowledge of their life is central. She encourages small, practical steps alongside reflection. People come to her for a wide range of issues including parenting strain, intimacy and sexual culture questions such as BDSM and kink, ADHD, chronic illness and caregiving stress, and career or life changes. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment difficulties and codependency. Michelle offers a mix of meeting styles and asks new clients to select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to her availability. She invites people to give feedback after therapy to help others find suitable care.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and on clarifying values to guide action; it can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thinking, feelings and habits, and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often suits people wanting practical tools for stress or sleep problems. Client‑centred therapy emphasises an open, non‑judgemental relationship where the person leads the pace and content of sessions, which can help with self‑esteem and relational difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before, and then agree a way of working together. That means trying out practices and adjusting the focus as needed rather than committing to a single model up front.

The original biography lists live instant messaging, video and telephone calls as formats offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, care duties or travel, and they allow for shorter check‑ins or longer conversations depending on what is needed. Many people find the flexibility helps them keep momentum between sessions while trying out new habits in daily life.
