About Michelle
Michelle Taylor is a Person-Centred counsellor who prioritises the client’s pace and choices. She encourages people to lead the direction of therapy while offering empathic, non-judgemental support. Michelle explains options clearly so people can make informed decisions about their care.
She has worked for 11 years supporting adults from a range of backgrounds. Much of her experience involves helping people cope with bereavement and with the impact of domestic and sexual abuse. She also supports people facing anxiety and panic-related difficulties and other concerns like depression, addiction and relationship strain.
In sessions she focuses on building trust and listening closely. The work is conversational and reflective rather than directive. Michelle aims to help people understand their feelings and find small practical steps that fit their life.
She uses Person-Centred Therapy to keep the client in control of the pace and focus. This approach is suited to people who want a supportive space to explore emotions related to loss, trauma, anxiety or major life change. Michelle believes people can grow when given clear listening and room to reflect.
People considering therapy are invited to ask questions up front. Michelle will talk through options and the likely path of therapy so someone can choose what feels right for them.
How Person-Centred work translates to online therapy
Person-Centred Therapy centres on warm, non-judgemental listening and on helping the person lead the pace and topics. In practice this means the counsellor reflects back what is said, asks gentle prompts and gives space for thoughts to unfold. It can suit people coping with anxiety, panic, grief, relationship strain or trauma who want a supportive space to talk.That same listening style works well over distance because the focus remains on the person rather than on techniques. The therapist and client will discuss which ways of working feel most helpful, and adjust the pace and focus as they learn what produces progress. Deciding the best approach is collaborative and reviewable at any time.
The biography does not specify exact session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage more comfortably.
