About Michelle

Counsellor (NCPS) with 4 years' experience in the United Kingdom. Michelle McAllister helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and depression using practical talking therapies.

Michelle offers straightforward, person-focused work. She listens to what matters to each person and adapts conversations and a plan to fit their situation. Sessions focus on clear goals such as reducing anxiety, improving confidence, or managing loss.

Her practice draws on client-centred methods that place the person's perspective first. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Her approach is flexible so sessions can lean on talking about past patterns or on short-term problem solving depending on what helps.

People meet her for a range of issues beyond the main areas listed, including attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, communication or control problems, separation and divorce, guilt and forgiveness, impulsivity, isolation, life purpose, men’s issues and pregnancy and childbirth matters.

Michelle works in English and is credentialed NCPS. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book an initial session to agree goals and the way forward.

Practical aims in sessions include clearer communication, manageable steps for mood and anxiety, and realistic ways to rebuild confidence after loss or life change.

How her approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of sessions and focuses on understanding concerns from their point of view. This approach helps when people need space to talk through feelings like grief or low self-esteem and want a therapist who follows their lead.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works by identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different ways of responding to them. It is useful for stress and anxiety and for building concrete skills to manage mood and worry.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will try ways of working that fit the person's needs. That collaborative choice can change over time as practical steps or deeper reflection become more helpful.

The biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm the available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work or caregiving and may reduce travel time. They also allow a quick check-in or a longer session without needing to travel, which some people find more practical for day-to-day life.
