Michaela Probert
Practical, respectful counselling to ease daily strain
About Michaela
Michaela Probert offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. She greets concerns simply - low mood, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief or life changes - and helps clients find steps that ease daily life. Michaela writes plainly and listens without judgement so people can talk through what matters to them.
She uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. That includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas, attachment-based thinking, client-centred practice and Jungian perspectives.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear, manageable tools and on understanding patterns that keep problems repeating. In conversation clients can expect curiosity rather than advice. Michaela aims to help people notice values and strengths, try new ways of coping, and build routines that support better sleep, mood and relationships.
Practical strategies are balanced with space to explore emotions and past experiences. Michaela has five years' experience as a counsellor and holds BACP registration. She practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to fit different schedules. People who want a straightforward, respectful approach often choose to begin by describing one or two current concerns. Michaela then works with them to agree short-term goals and steps to try between sessions.
The focus is on small, sustainable changes that make daily life feel more manageable.

Sessions & fees
Approaches you can use online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking small actions that matter to you; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and improve sleep, mood and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help with intimacy, trust and communication difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then recommend which methods might fit best. That choice is reviewed together as progress is made so adjustments can be tried when needed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and busy days while still working with registered or accredited professionals and trained therapists.
