Michelle King, BACP

Michelle King is a UK-based counsellor with 17 years of professional experience, offering compassionate support to people navigating stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addiction, motivation challenges, self-esteem and confidence issues, and coping with life changes. She holds the BACP credential, representing membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy in the United Kingdom, and brings that professional grounding to her work with clients.

Michelle approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and care, adapting conversations and therapeutic plans to reflect each individual’s circumstances and goals. Her practice focuses on creating a tailored pathway toward clearer understanding and stronger coping strategies, whether the immediate concern is overwhelming anxiety, the aftermath of traumatic experiences, difficulties with motivation, or shifts in life roles and identity.

Recognising that starting therapy can take courage, Michelle supports new clients through that first step and beyond, meeting people where they are and helping them build the skills and insight needed to move forward. Her style is collaborative and person-focused, with an emphasis on practical, meaningful progress over time.

Approaches That Guide Online Care

Michelle King draws on established therapeutic approaches to inform online sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current emotions and connections, helping people who struggle with abandonment, attachment issues, or difficulties in close relationships to understand and shift those patterns.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of the work, using empathetic listening and acceptance to build self-awareness and personal growth; this approach supports people coping with low self-esteem, life changes, and decisions about purpose or direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and developing practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress. It is often used when clients want structured tools to change how they respond to challenging thoughts and situations.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Michelle will work collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and connect with a registered professional from home or another convenient location.
