Michaela Kendall, BACP

Michaela Kendall offers a calm, supportive space for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or relationship strain. She greets each person with kindness and aims to make it easier to take that first step towards help. Sessions are shaped around what the client needs right now rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

She uses a gentle, person-focused style that helps people talk through painful memories, tense relationships and changes in life. Michaela draws on approaches that look at how early bonds affect current behaviour, and on trauma-focused work for those carrying difficult experiences. Mindfulness tools are used to help manage strong emotions and bring more ease into daily life.

Her background includes work with people dealing with grief, addiction concerns, intimacy-related issues, family conflict and compassion fatigue. Michaela also supports clients navigating self-esteem struggles, parenting stress and LGBT-related concerns. She has four years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, listed as BACP.

In sessions she aims to tailor the pace and focus to each person. That might mean spending time on emotional processing, practising grounding exercises, or working on communication in close relationships. She encourages practical steps clients can try between sessions to build momentum.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Michaela uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This helps when people struggle with trust, closeness or repeating negative relationship behaviours. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which focuses on identifying and shifting emotional responses that cause distress in close connections.

Mindfulness techniques are used alongside these approaches to help clients manage intense emotions and stay present during difficult moments. These methods are practical and can be practised between sessions to build steady improvements over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michaela will collaborate with each client to choose which methods suit their goals and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses and different needs emerge.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible to practise mindfulness or grounding techniques in familiar surroundings, and to bring examples from daily life into sessions for real-time discussion.
