About Michelle

BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 11 years' experience. Michelle Taylor works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship matters, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and addictions. She uses a person-centred approach and keeps the pace driven by the client.

Michelle uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means she follows the client's lead and focuses on what matters most to them. Sessions can be short term or longer, depending on a person's needs. She emphasises clear communication about what to expect and answers questions before work begins.

Her practice includes work around domestic and sexual abuse and bereavement. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, intimacy-related concerns, family and parenting stresses, and a range of emotional and behavioural difficulties such as eating and sleeping problems, anger, and low self-esteem.

Additional focus areas include abandonment and attachment issues, divorce and separation, drug and alcohol addiction, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life counselling, panic disorder, self-harm, and sexual assault and abuse. She also lists ADHD, bipolar and LGBT-related concerns among areas she addresses.

Michelle has worked with adults from differing backgrounds for over a decade. She invites people to discuss options together and to set the pace of therapy. To begin, readers are asked to use the online matching steps to arrange an initial session and explain their priorities.

How Client-Centred work translates to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's perspective and priorities. It emphasises listening, reflecting what the client brings, and allowing the person to set the pace. This approach suits issues where someone needs space to talk through feelings, such as grief, trauma and relationship difficulties.

In practice the counsellor follows what matters to the client and checks in about goals and preferences. That means decisions about how to work are made together, and adjustments can be made as needs change over time. The therapist aims to be collaborative when deciding what approaches or topics to try next.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific online or in-person arrangements. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to help people maintain continuity of care while balancing other commitments.
