Michelle McGee , BACP

Michelle McGee is a UK-licensed therapist with five years of professional practice and a BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, depression, and a range of life transitions. Michelle approaches each person with sensitivity and respect, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to the unique needs and goals of the individual.

Her clinical focus includes supporting clients through trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, parenting and blended family challenges, self-esteem and body image issues, and career-related stress. Michelle also offers care for those coping with fertility, end-of-life and caregiver situations, and other complex emotional responses such as guilt, shame, or feelings of emptiness. Working with her involves practical, evidence-informed techniques and collaborative planning to address immediate concerns while also exploring longer-term patterns that affect wellbeing.

Michelle recognises that taking the first step toward therapy can require courage. She aims to create a compassionate, respectful space where clients feel heard and supported as they begin and continue their therapeutic journey.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Michelle McGee uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine skills-focused work with relational exploration. Skills-focused work teaches practical strategies for managing anxiety, stress and day-to-day coping - for example breathing, grounding, and problem-solving methods that can reduce immediate distress and build resilience. Relational and attachment-focused exploration looks at patterns in relationships and family dynamics to help clients improve communication, resolve conflicts, and address long-standing attachment concerns that affect intimacy and parenting.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michelle works collaboratively with clients to identify which techniques and priorities fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible fit.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limitations. Michelle provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that suits their comfort and lifestyle while maintaining consistent, professional support from a registered professional.
