Michaela Kendall, BACP
Understanding, respectful counselling for life’s pressures
Book with MichaelaAbout Michaela
Michaela Kendall is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and loss, and issues connected to identity including LGBT concerns. She offers a calm space to pause, talk, and make sense of difficult feelings. Michaela aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion as they take that first step towards help.
She uses approaches that focus on how relationships and attachments shape feelings and behaviour.
Background and approach
Sessions are tailored to each person's needs rather than following a set script. Michaela listens for what matters most to the client and helps them try out new ways of coping and relating. Her background includes four years of professional experience working with trauma, addictions, parenting stress and compassion fatigue alongside depression and low self-esteem.
Michaela describes therapy as a place to check in, slow down and notice patterns that keep someone stuck. In practical terms she works collaboratively, helping people make small, manageable steps between sessions. That might mean practising mindfulness, naming unhelpful patterns in relationships, or learning grounding techniques after difficult experiences.
Michaela holds BACP as a credential and bases her work in straightforward communication. She encourages people to be curious about their feelings and to bring what matters most into the room.

How her approaches translate to online counselling
Michaela draws on attachment-based work to look at how early and current relationship patterns influence feelings and behaviour; this can help when anxiety or relationship difficulties keep repeating. She also uses client-centred methods that place the person's own priorities at the heart of sessions, letting the client set the pace and topics to cover.These approaches are explained simply and explored together. The therapist will check in about what feels helpful and adapt methods to your needs and goals. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process that can change as you make progress.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits your schedule. They can also support people who prefer not to meet in person while still working on attachment patterns, emotion regulation, mindfulness and trauma processing in a practical way.
