About Michelle
Michelle McGee welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or relationship strain. She offers calm, straightforward support and helps people take practical steps when life feels hard. Michelle uses a respectful, non-judgemental approach and aims to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.
Michelle has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has worked with people dealing with depression, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and intimacy-related issues.
Background and approach
She also supports those facing career changes, coping with life transitions, or navigating questions about identity, including LGBT matters. In sessions she focuses on listening closely, helping people name what is most upsetting, and trying out ways to manage day-to-day distress. Discussions are practical and paced to suit each person.
She helps with communication problems, attachment worries, and blended family difficulties by breaking problems into small, workable steps. Michelle also offers support around body image, fertility and end-of-life concerns, and for those affected by cancer or caring responsibilities. She recognises how guilt, shame or past harm can linger and works with people to build clearer boundaries and healthier routines.
Beginning therapy can feel daunting, and Michelle aims to make that first step easier. She tailors a simple plan with each person and checks progress as therapy continues.

How evidence-based approaches guide online sessions
Michelle draws on well-established therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and rebuild routines. One common approach is brief problem-focused work that helps identify specific patterns causing distress and tests small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. This is useful for stress, panic and day-to-day coping difficulties.Another approach involves emotion-focused discussion to help people understand and process grief, trauma or painful relationship patterns. That work centres on naming feelings, tracing how they influence choices, and practising different ways of relating to oneself and others. It can help with intimacy issues, attachment worries and healing from past harm.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals together and try methods that suit the person’s needs and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time if something is not helping, so the work stays practical and focused on real-life improvements.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, avoid travel time, and hold regular check-ins during work breaks or between appointments. It can also allow shorter or longer sessions depending on what suits the person's routine.
