About Michelle
Michelle Lindsay is a counsellor and a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years' experience. She works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low mood, relationship issues, parenting strains and anger. Sessions are offered in English in the United Kingdom and she does not currently accept international clients.
Michelle uses an integrative humanistic approach that draws mainly on Person-Centred and Existential therapies. In practice this means sessions focus on what matters to the client, and on helping people make sense of their choices and values. She describes the work as collaborative and relational, with attention to how past attachments and present patterns affect daily life.
She can talk with clients about practical problems such as work stress, career pressures and study-related difficulties. Michelle also supports people dealing with grief, identity questions including LGBT and gender dysphoria concerns, and aspects of neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. Issues like self-esteem, commitment worries, and cross-generational family problems are also within her scope.
Michelle may draw on other ideas when useful, for example brief elements of cognitive work, attachment perspectives or gestalt techniques. She aims to help people notice patterns, try small changes and find clearer ways to respond to anger, resentment or frustration. The emphasis is on steady practical steps rather than quick fixes.

How her approaches translate to online counselling
Michelle works mainly from Person-Centred (Client-Centred) and Existential approaches. Client-Centred work focuses on listening closely and following what matters to the client, which helps with low mood, self-esteem and relationship strain. Existential therapy looks at values, choices and meaning, which can help people manage frustration, anger and life changes by clarifying what matters most to them.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to identify which ideas fit best for their goals and preferences. That may mean sticking with Person-Centred sessions for a while or bringing in existential questions and practical exercises when useful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It can also make it simpler to continue steady work on anger, coping strategies and relationship concerns while managing everyday responsibilities.
