About Michelle
Michelle Sewell is a counsellor who blends several talking‑therapy approaches to match each person's needs. She works collaboratively and aims to help people feel heard and understood. Her BACP credential is shown as BACP. She has four years of experience and works from the United Kingdom.
Michelle adapts her style to the person in front of her. She uses client‑centred ways of listening alongside practical Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques and emotion‑focused methods when useful. That mix lets her focus on immediate coping skills or look at deeper patterns, depending on what someone wants.
Typical concerns she helps people address include stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She also works with issues such as grief, self‑esteem, anger, parenting strain and compassion fatigue. Panic disorder and panic attacks are listed among her focus areas and can be discussed in sessions.
Sessions often involve talking through recent events, spotting repeated patterns and trying small changes between meetings. Michelle aims to support people who want clearer thinking, calmer responses and better ways of coping with life changes.
Her approach is collaborative: she invites people to set goals and to shape how therapy proceeds. When appropriate, she brings mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas into the work to help with understanding feelings and long‑running patterns.
People who choose to work with her usually begin by completing a short questionnaire and then arranging sessions to suit their schedule. Michelle provides an open, non‑judgemental space to reflect and to practise new ways of handling tough moments.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own answers. Online sessions using this approach prioritise a supportive space where the person leads the conversation and the counsellor reflects and clarifies what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and then tries small practical changes. Online CBT tends to include short exercises, goal setting and homework tasks which can be reviewed each week to track progress.
Emotionally‑Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice, name and work with strong feelings. In remote sessions this can mean learning to recognise patterns in relationships and practising new ways to express emotion and stay connected to what matters.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then agree which methods to use. That collaboration makes it easier to adapt techniques if something is not helpful.
