Michele Findley, BACP

Michele Findley is a neurodivergent-affirming, BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with seven years of clinical experience. She offers empathetic, respectful support to people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and significant life transitions, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s individual needs and goals.

Michele brings specialist experience in trauma work and is trained in EMDR, a therapeutic approach often used for PTSD, complex trauma, abuse, phobias, social anxiety, and panic-related problems. Alongside trauma-focused care she supports people with grief, low self-worth, intrusive thoughts, addiction, anger management, and long-term or unexplained health challenges.

Her practice is rooted in sensitivity and compassion, with an emphasis on understanding each person’s unique journey. Michele works with a wide range of issues including relationship and family concerns, parenting and intimacy-related difficulties, neurodiversity-affirming care, and challenges linked to career, sleep, eating, and concentration. She also supports clients dealing with aging, adoption and foster care experiences, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and attachment-related struggles.

Michele aims to create a supportive space for exploration and growth, helping people take the courageous first steps toward clearer thinking, greater resilience, and more fulfilling relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Healing and Connection

Michele integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy into online work to meet a range of needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, and to focus on actions that reflect their values - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships to help improve current connections and emotional regulation, which can be especially helpful for relationship and attachment struggles. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead to build insight and self-compassion, supporting issues like low self-worth, grief, and identity concerns.

Michele approaches treatment collaboratively, working with each person to discover which methods feel most helpful. Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and she adjusts plans based on a client’s needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy with Michele is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access consistent support from a registered professional, accommodate busy lives, and continue therapy during transitions or when in-person sessions are not practical.
