About Michelle
Michelle Saunders is an NCPS counsellor working in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and depression. Michelle also supports clients facing life changes, relationship concerns, trauma and grief.
Before specialising in counselling she spent many years in health care roles, including nurseries, A&E and intensive care. That background informs a practical, down-to-earth way of talking about difficult feelings. She aims to make conversations straightforward so people can say what they mean without jargon.
Michelle uses approaches that keep the client at the centre of the work. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to listen and reflect, Motivational Interviewing to help people find reasons to change, and Solution-Focused Therapy to spot what already works and build on it. These approaches are used to address issues such as anger, communication problems, and caregiver stress.
Sessions look at how anger shows up day-to-day, for example losing temper with people close to you, frustration at work, or resentment that builds over time. Michelle helps clients notice patterns, try small changes, and keep what helps. She also works with related concerns like body image, addiction, and intimacy-related issues when they link to a person’s anger or wellbeing.
Practical steps are a feature of her work. Clients are encouraged to set simple goals, review progress, and adjust what they try. To begin, people follow the site’s matching process and schedule a first appointment to see how the approach fits.
How Michelle uses her approaches in online work
Client-Centred Therapy is about being listened to and reflected back. It helps when someone needs space to sort out feelings such as anger, grief or shame without pressure to perform. Motivational Interviewing helps people weigh reasons to change and find internal motivation. It is useful for problems like low motivation, substance use, or when someone feels stuck about making a different choice. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for what already works and builds small, achievable steps. It suits people who want concrete changes, such as improving communication, reducing bursts of anger, or managing stress at work. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what fits best based on your goals, needs and preferences. That may mean trying one approach for a few sessions and adapting as progress is reviewed. Confirm the session formats before you book, as options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, for example by saving travel time, offering shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to maintain regular contact while people manage daily commitments.Areas of expertise
