About Michelle
Michelle Smith is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. Michelle works from the view that clients know their own stories and already have strengths to draw on.
Her approach emphasises practical, evidence-based techniques to help people manage overwhelming feelings and recurring problems. Sessions involve talking through recent difficulties, identifying patterns that keep problems going, and trying small, concrete steps that can change daily routines. Michelle aims to help people build skills they can use between meetings.
Michelle also supports issues linked to ageing and geriatric concerns, attachment difficulties, drug and alcohol addiction, guilt and shame, and mood disorders. She has experience working with people affected by obsessive thoughts, paranoia, personality difficulties, and post-traumatic stress. Other focus areas include sexuality, self-love, social anxiety, prejudice and discrimination, and hearing impairment considerations.
She offers work in English and accepts international clients. Michelle uses a subscription model for sessions, and the subscription can be cancelled at any time. Costs vary by location. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the online booking options.
Michelle keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what someone wants to change. She encourages small, steady steps and checks progress regularly so plans can be adjusted as needed.

How Michelle uses evidence-based approaches in remote sessions
Michelle describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Cognitive-focused methods look at patterns of thinking that keep anxiety and low mood going and use practical exercises to test and shift those thoughts. Behavioural strategies focus on changing routines and doing small, achievable activities to reduce avoidance and build coping skills.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with each person, try different techniques where needed, and agree on goals and short action steps together so the work fits the person’s priorities.
The biography does not list which session formats are provided, so confirm current options before booking. The practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions into a busy week, reducing travel time, and allowing shorter check-ins when a quick review is helpful. Many people find it easier to maintain regular meetings when sessions can be scheduled around work or caring responsibilities, and remote sessions can make follow-up and skill practice more consistent.
