About Michaela
Michaela Duffy is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, panic attacks and everyday stresses. She works with individuals who feel stuck by low mood, worry, relationship tension or parenting strain. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at making sessions feel like a calm space to talk and think things through.
She draws on three main approaches to guide conversations and practical work. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the person’s priorities at the centre. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new coping skills. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences shape current feelings and reactions.
Michaela has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, or BACP. She says that people already have strengths to build on and that therapy is a process of discovering and using those strengths.
Sessions aim to combine listening with practical steps you can try between meetings. Michaela emphasises small, manageable changes rather than big, immediate fixes. This approach is intended for people navigating parenting challenges, career pressure, life transitions, ADHD-related struggles, and mood or self-esteem concerns.
