Online support
How Michele's approaches work online
Michele draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name their feelings, which can ease intense emotions and improve connection to oneself and others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and build actions that matter, helping with anxiety, overthinking and decisions. Attachment-based ideas inform work around relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current responses, useful for communication and intimacy worries.Finding the right approach is a shared task. Michele will talk with the client about what feels most useful and try different methods. She will work collaboratively to set goals, adjust techniques and agree how progress looks over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which can fit into busy days and different routines. Video calls let people read facial cues and hold a fuller conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and text or chat can suit brief check-ins or written reflections. These options make therapy more flexible and help people keep momentum between sessions.
