Calm practical support for life’s hard moments
About Michele
Michele Findley offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety and life's big changes. She writes simply and listens closely. Michele aims to make sessions straightforward and useful from the first contact.
She focuses on common issues such as depression, low self-worth, grief and addiction. Relationship and intimacy concerns are part of her work, along with sleep and eating difficulties. She also supports people dealing with long-term health conditions and the strain of caregiving.
Background and approach
Michele blends several approaches to suit each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and decide on values-led action. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot patterns and try different responses.
Attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas guide work on connection and trust. Her practice is neurodivergent-affirming and oriented around respect and sensitivity. Michele adapts pace and style so sessions feel manageable.
She works with clear goals and practical steps that people can try between meetings. With seven years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Michele brings steady clinical experience to conversations. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online for people in the United Kingdom and abroad.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that suits them.

How Michele’s approaches work online
Michele uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. This approach can be useful for stress, anxiety and low mood where getting unstuck matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and then tests new ways of responding to reduce symptoms and improve routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele will discuss options and tailor techniques to what feels most helpful. Decisions about methods are made together, based on the client's goals, history and preferences, so the plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for a fuller conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and text-based messaging or live chat are suitable for shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel, while still allowing regular contact with a registered professional.
