About Michelle
Michelle Lindsay is a counsellor and a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years of practice and helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood, trauma and relationship concerns. Michelle offers a calm, non-judgemental space and aims to listen closely to each person she meets.
She draws mainly on Client-Centred Therapy and Existential Therapy, and works in a relational way to understand each person’s story.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on small, practical steps that can make everyday life easier. Michelle also draws on other ideas where they suit a person’s needs and preferences. Michelle has experience working in independent practice and within a community organisation, and she offers both online and in-person work as described in her biography.
Her background includes supporting people with parenting and family concerns, grief, career challenges, ADHD, and issues around gender and identity such as gender dysphoria. Her approach is collaborative: she listens, reflects, and helps people identify what might be helpful next. She emphasises individuals’ strengths and aims to empower them to make changes at their own pace.
For those ready to begin, she asks clients to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time; specific session options should be confirmed before booking so the practical arrangements match each person’s needs.

Approaches Michelle lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the centre of the work. The therapist listens deeply, follows the client’s lead, and helps people notice their own resources and choices. This approach can help with low mood, anxiety, self-esteem and relationship concerns.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, responsibility and the choices people make in their lives. It helps when someone is facing big life changes, feelings of emptiness, or questions about identity and direction. Conversations explore values and practical ways to live in line with what matters.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will collaborate with each person to decide what feels most useful, drawing mainly on Client-Centred and Existential ideas and bringing in other methods when helpful. That decision is based on the client’s goals, preferences and what works in session.
Online therapy can make it simpler to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a lunch break. Because session formats are not fully detailed in the biography, confirm the available options before booking so arrangements match your needs. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online work that lets people keep therapy consistent while managing everyday commitments.
