About Michele
Michele Findley is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and difficult life changes. She offers calm, direct support for issues such as depression, grief, low self-worth and relationship difficulties. Michele aims to make each session practical and understandable for someone who may be feeling overwhelmed.
Her practice is neurodivergent-affirming and draws on seven years of experience. Michele blends somatic ideas with therapies that look at thoughts, emotions and attachment patterns.
Background and approach
That means sessions can include attention to bodily sensations as well as talking through thoughts and feelings. Michele often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take workable steps forward. She also uses client-centred methods to create an accepting space, and cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking.
Attachment-based work supports exploration of how early relationships shape present patterns. People come for a wide range of concerns, from anxiety, addiction and trauma to parenting stress, sleep problems and career strain. Michele also supports those facing chronic illness, caregiving pressure or issues around adoption and attachment.
Sessions are offered in English and Michele works with international clients. Practical details such as session formats and cost are handled through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.
How somatic and talking therapies work online
Somatic-informed work pays attention to bodily sensations and how the body holds stress. Online sessions can still include guidance for noticing breath, posture and physical reactions to help manage anxiety and trauma-related symptoms.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small committed steps. It helps with anxiety, depression and life changes by pairing values-based goals with practical actions.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence present patterns. That type of work helps people understand relationship difficulties, intimacy worries and issues with trust and connection.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful, adapting methods as needs and goals become clearer.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, to access support from different locations, and to choose the way of communicating that feels safest and most comfortable.
