About Michelle
Michelle Thomas is a counsellor who uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns. Michelle draws on seven years' experience and holds NCPS as her recorded credential.
Her sessions begin by listening to what matters most to the person in front of her. She treats each person as the expert on their life and tailors sessions to their situation.
Background and approach
Practical strategies are offered so people can manage symptoms and build new ways of coping. Michelle blends emotional work with practical tools. That can mean helping someone name and process strong feelings, then testing small changes between sessions.
She also uses mindfulness and hypnotherapy techniques when they fit the person’s goals. She has experience supporting people with grief, trauma and addiction concerns, plus challenges such as body image, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Additional interests include attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care, and long-term health and caregiver stress.
Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, with some evening and weekend slots. Michelle works from the United Kingdom and conducts therapy in English. If someone is unsure how to begin, she guides them through the initial process and practical steps to get started.

Online support
How emotional work and practical tools fit online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift patterns in their emotional responses and close relationships; it is useful for intimacy concerns and for making sense of strong feelings. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person leads the pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours and teaches concrete techniques to reduce anxiety, manage low mood and change unhelpful habits.Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and then try approaches that match those needs. This is a collaborative process where methods are adjusted as progress is made and new issues emerge.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing support, or people who prefer writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and travel commitments while keeping the focus on emotional change and practical skills.
