Michelle King, BACP

Michelle King is a psychotherapeutic counsellor and clinical supervisor who supports adolescents and adults facing a range of emotional challenges, including anxiety, depression, self-harming behaviours and neurodivergence. She provides one-to-one counselling that can be arranged on a short or longer term basis according to each person’s circumstances and needs.

Clients may come to her feeling overwhelmed by current distress, wanting help with the aftermath of loss or trauma, or uncertain about the next steps in life. Michelle approaches each situation with a commitment to help clients move past obstacles and develop a clearer sense of direction for the future. She draws on a person-centred foundation, which prioritises the client’s perspective and fosters empathy, acceptance and collaborative exploration.

Her practice can include creative therapy alongside traditional talking and strategy-based work, allowing space for different ways of expressing and processing experience. Sessions concentrate on what the client brings, with Michelle offering support and gentle, respectful challenges designed to deepen understanding and open possibilities for growth. She also explores past experiences where helpful, to consider how earlier events influence current behaviour and relationships.

Michelle is a member of BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is a professional body for counsellors and therapists in the United Kingdom. She believes that counselling offers value through being listened to without judgement and through opportunities to heal, learn and grow, and she looks forward to meeting new clients.
