Michelle Taylor , BACP

Michelle Taylor offers a client-centred way of working that keeps the person seeking help in control. She uses a gentle, paced approach so people set the direction and choose how therapy moves forward. Michelle is based in the United Kingdom and brings 11 years of practice to her work. Her sessions focus on listening and understanding without judgement. She helps people talk through stressful times, anxiety, mood difficulties and grief. Relationship strains, addiction concerns and trauma are also areas she addresses in conversation and reflection. Michelle supports people dealing with eating and sleeping problems, low self-esteem and anger. She also works with issues around intimacy, parenting stresses, career pressures and life changes. Additional areas of focus include abandonment and attachment difficulties, domestic violence, and sexual assault and abuse. People bring a wide range of needs such as bipolar mood management, panic attacks, self-harm, and challenges linked to drug or alcohol use. Michelle also addresses concerns tied to hospice and end-of-life situations and feelings of guilt and shame. She practises as a BACP counsellor - BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Michelle aims to create a calm space where people can come to better understand their feelings and find ways to manage them.

Client-centred work and how it fits online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than a fixed technique. The therapist listens with empathy, reflects what is said and helps the person find their own solutions. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns and recovery after abuse because it centres the person's own goals and timing.

The counsellor's role is to follow the client's lead and create a supportive space. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michelle will discuss your needs, preferences and goals and help decide which ways of working suit you best in collaboration with you.

The original biography does not list which session formats are used, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into everyday life easier, for example by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during a lunch break or between commitments. It can also allow a shorter check-in when people need a quick update rather than a full session. For information on precise session types and how they are scheduled, check the options offered when you book.
