Michelle Lindsay, BACP

Michelle Lindsay is a fully qualified counsellor and a Registered Member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), practising in the United Kingdom. She has developed focused experience over four years supporting people with a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, low mood and depression, self-esteem and confidence, work and student pressures, relationship and family issues, and other life transitions. She works with individuals in both online and face-to-face settings, drawing on experience from private practice and community organisations.

Michelle’s approach is grounded in an integrative humanistic model that places strong emphasis on relational work. She draws predominantly on Client-Centered Therapy and Existential Therapy, offering a collaborative space where people are listened to and treated as experts in their own lives. When appropriate, she may also integrate ideas from other therapeutic perspectives to meet a person’s specific needs. Michelle aims to help people explore what has brought them to therapy, identify options for moving forward, and build on their existing strengths and resources.

She believes that seeking help takes courage and that change often begins with small, supported steps. Michelle offers compassionate, non-judgemental support and works alongside clients to empower them toward more fulfilling and manageable ways of living. She welcomes conversations with those who are ready to begin that work.

Client-Centered and Existential Support Delivered Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing an accepting and non-directive space where the individual’s own insights and values guide the process. It is helpful for people seeking greater self-understanding, improved self-esteem, and clearer decision-making during life transitions. Existential Therapy explores questions of meaning, choice, responsibility, and identity, and can be useful when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed by change, or unsure about purpose and direction.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Michelle works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting her work as understanding grows. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy with Michelle is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or other commitments, and to access support from home or another convenient location. Registered professionals can offer effective therapeutic work through these formats, and Michelle uses them to make therapy more accessible and practical for her clients.
