Michele Attias, BACP

Michele Attias is a BACP-registered therapist, life coach and author of the book 'Look Inside: Stop Seeking Start Living'. She offers therapy in both English and Spanish and brings twenty years of experience to her practice, combining sensitivity, energy and attentive listening to help people feel understood and supported.

Michele works in an integrative, client-centered way that looks at the whole person - physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual needs are considered alongside one another. The BACP credential indicates membership in a UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists and reflects her commitment to professional standards. Her approach draws on a variety of therapeutic techniques so each plan can be tailored to an individual’s circumstances and goals.

She helps clients decide whether short-term or longer-term work is most appropriate and adapts sessions to specific needs while encouraging personal growth and practical change. Michele supports people to become clearer decision-makers and more effective action-takers, particularly when stress, overthinking, anxiety or overwhelm are present. Her guidance aims to improve energy, focus and day-to-day functioning, supporting better time management and greater inner calm.

Whether someone is new to therapy or has previous experience, Michele offers steady support and practical tools to move forward, and she welcomes the opportunity to work with new clients.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action - useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns, aiming to rebuild safety and secure connections and it can be helpful for relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, offering nonjudgmental listening and respect to foster self-understanding and personal growth, and it works well for issues like low self-esteem, grief and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Michele will work collaboratively to identify which methods best fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She integrates techniques as appropriate and reviews progress together so the work remains grounded in what matters most to the client.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and allow people to access registered professionals from their own location while maintaining continuity of care and consistent support.
