Approaches and Online Support for Personal Change

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to identify values that guide meaningful action. It is helpful for anxiety, stress and situations where avoidance has become limiting.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current emotional responses and relationship dynamics. It can be useful for improving intimacy, repairing trust and understanding recurring relational difficulties.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, offering empathic listening and collaboration so clients can explore their own solutions at their own pace. This approach supports self-esteem, coping with life changes and emotional processing.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Michele will collaborate with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. Together they will review progress and adjust the plan as required.

Online therapy with Michele is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options allow therapy to fit around work, family and geographic constraints and make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
