About Michaela

Michaela Kendall offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or big life changes. She aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where clients can slow down, check in and start to feel lighter. Michaela introduces steady presence and clear listening so people can take the first step toward feeling less alone.

She works in a way that is tailored to the individual. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her, whether that is handling intense emotions, repairing relationship strain, or coping after loss.

Background and approach

Michaela uses approaches that help people understand how past experiences shape current feelings and reactions. Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how close connections influence behaviour and feelings. She also uses client-centred methods that prioritise the person’s own goals and pace.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques are used when relationship patterns and emotional bonds are central concerns. Michaela has four years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. That background informs straightforward, empathetic sessions.

She aims to help people notice small changes that add up over time. People come for help with stress, anxiety, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, grief, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and run in formats that fit modern life.

How these approaches work online

Michaela uses attachment-based ideas to explore how early and close relationships shape current feelings and reactions. This approach helps when people struggle with trust, intense emotional responses, or repeating relationship patterns.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which looks at core emotions and how they drive interaction patterns. EFT can be useful for people who want clearer understanding of their emotional needs and the ways they connect with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michaela works collaboratively to decide what fits best based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. She will adjust methods over time, checking in about what is helpful and what could change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and fuller emotional expression. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, written reflection, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions around work, family and daily life.
