About Michele
Michele Findley offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or relationship strain. She writes simply and listens closely, helping clients take small steps that make daily life feel more manageable. Michele meets people where they are and focuses on what can change next.
She uses a blend of proven talking approaches to help people notice thoughts and feelings, try new ways of responding, and rebuild a sense of control.
Background and approach
Michele is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which she lists as BACP. She brings seven years of practice to each conversation. Michele works with a wide range of concerns including depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, and complex grief.
She also supports people dealing with ADHD, chronic health problems, carer stress, and issues linked to adoption or abandonment. Sessions cover practical coping skills and longer term patterns that cause pain. Her style is warm and straightforward.
Michele uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice habits that limit them and try alternatives. Attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused work help when relationships and connection are central to the worry. EMDR therapy is part of her practice and is offered as an option where appropriate.
Michele explains options and adapts the plan to each person's needs. The aim is steady progress you can feel in daily life.

Online support
How Michele’s approaches translate to online therapy
Michele commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being led by them, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele will discuss what matters most to the client and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. She frames this as a collaborative process and adjusts plans over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are like face-to-face sessions and suit longer therapeutic work. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for shorter updates or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health demands, and to continue work despite travel or relocation.
