About Michele
BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. Michele Kavanagh works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. She uses a mix of approaches including attachment, client-centred, cognitive behavioural and trauma-focused methods to help people address emotional and practical concerns.
Michele prefers clear, direct work. She listens and reflects back what she hears so people know they have been understood. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on patterns that might have formed earlier in life. Practical steps and thinking strategies are used alongside space to talk about difficult feelings.
Her background blends psychodynamic ideas about past relationships with attachment-based thinking about how people relate now. Cognitive behavioural techniques are offered to help with unhelpful thinking and with sleep or anxiety symptoms. Trauma-focused ideas are used when past distress keeps affecting day-to-day life.
Michele aims to make sessions straightforward and respectful. She helps people name problems, try simple experiments between sessions, and notice small changes. Work can cover a wide range of difficulties such as grief, addiction-related struggles, parenting stress, communication problems and career-related worry.
Language of work is English. Michele does not accept international clients. People who want to start are asked to use the online matching and booking process to arrange an initial session.

How Michele’s approaches shape remote sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. It helps when people notice repeated trust or closeness problems that affect their day-to-day life. Client-centred therapy focuses on being listened to and understood; sessions give space for the client to lead the conversation and for reflections that clarify feelings and goals. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, provides practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and behaviours and is often used for anxiety, sleep problems and mood difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michele will discuss what feels most relevant and will adjust methods based on the client’s needs and preferences. This is a collaborative decision made together during early sessions and reviewed as progress is tracked.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use methods such as guided thinking exercises and homework between sessions without needing extra travel. Registered or accredited professionals can often adapt techniques used in face-to-face work to a remote setting so therapy fits practical routines.
