Michelle Taylor

Michelle Taylor is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people work through personal challenges. She brings 11 years of experience supporting adults with a wide range of issues, including eating and food-related concerns, relationship difficulties, grief and trauma. Michelle aims to make the first step less daunting and to help clients feel heard from the start.

Her practice moves at a pace that suits the individual. Sessions can be short term or longer, depending on what the person needs. The emphasis is on the client remaining in control of how therapy unfolds, with the counsellor guiding rather than directing the process.

Michelle offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. She focuses on building trust and understanding so people can unpack experiences like domestic or sexual abuse, bereavement, and problems with addiction or mood. The goal is clearer understanding and practical ways to manage day-to-day life.

She also supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, anger and issues around self-esteem. Additional areas she addresses include attachment and abandonment concerns, divorce or separation, and challenges connected to substance misuse.

Sessions are delivered in English and Michelle accepts clients from outside the United Kingdom. Her approach is straightforward and person-centred, aiming to help each person find their own solutions rather than prescribing a single path.

Client-centred care and online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person seeking help at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens with empathy and follows the client's pace, helping them make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach suits issues like grief, relationship difficulties, eating concerns and trauma because it focuses on understanding the person's experience rather than prescribing solutions.

When working online, the same person-centred principles apply. The therapist and client collaborate to find the best way forward, discussing goals and preferences together so the approach fits the individual's needs. The therapist will check in and adapt how sessions are run if something is not working for the client.

Before booking, confirm which session formats are offered because the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, avoid travel time and hold sessions from a familiar place. It can also allow shorter check-ins when days are tight or reduce the need to be on camera if someone prefers a different medium. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist so sessions match daily routines and communication preferences.
