About Michelle
Michelle Beard is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She sees adults who are struggling with things like anger, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain and other life changes. She also works with people facing issues related to grief, trauma, addiction and identity concerns, including LGBT matters.
She takes a straightforward, person-focused approach. Sessions are conversational and goal-directed when needed. Practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing are used alongside mindfulness practices to help manage strong emotions and unhelpful thinking.
Michelle aims to help clients notice patterns that keep anger and frustration cycling. That can mean learning ways to slow reactions, spot triggers, and try different responses in heated moments. She also supports people who are coping with someone else’s anger and the strain that causes.
Her work can include short-term practical plans or longer-term discussions about relationship patterns, identity, or mood regulation. She explains tools clearly, then tests what works in everyday life. Progress is tracked through small, achievable steps rather than big promises.
Sessions are offered in English and Michelle accepts international clients. Before booking, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Approaches used in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people work out what matters to them. It is useful for talking through feelings about relationships, identity, or general distress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It offers step-by-step techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and try different responses to anger and anxiety.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, then agree together which methods to try. That might mean a few focused CBT exercises, adding mindfulness practice, or spending more time on reflective conversations depending on what helps.
Confirm session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins if needed, and avoid travel time. It also allows people in different locations to work with registered or accredited professionals without changing their day too much.
