Michelle King
Compassionate, person-centred therapy for adults
About Michelle
Michelle King is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, stress, trauma and major life changes. She works with adults and provides one-to-one counselling that can be short or longer term, depending on what each person needs. Michelle is a BACP practitioner and brings eight years of clinical experience to her work.
Her style is grounded in a person-centred approach. Sessions focus on what the client wants to bring, with space for both talking and more creative methods when helpful.
Background and approach
She offers gentle challenge alongside supportive listening to help people understand their reactions and choices. Michelle often explores how past experiences shape present behaviour and relationships. That can help with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, family of origin difficulties and patterns that repeat across life.
She also supports people dealing with grief, fertility stress, separation and emotional emptiness. She works with neurodivergent presentations including autism and Asperger Syndrome, and with people managing ADHD-related challenges. First responder issues, caregiver stress and work-related pressures are also within her focus areas.
Sessions aim to build practical ways to cope as well as deeper insight. Her work includes attention to dissociation, control difficulties, communication problems and gender dysphoria when clients bring these concerns. Michelle provides a calm, non-judgemental space for people to make sense of difficult experiences and move toward clearer goals.

Approaches that guide online work and what to expect
Michelle draws on person-centred practice, which focuses on listening closely and following what the client says matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and supports exploration of values, choices and emotional experience.She also uses creative and strategy-based techniques alongside talking therapy. Creative methods can help access feelings that are hard to put into words, while strategy work focuses on practical steps and coping tools for everyday life and stress management.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with each client and adapt methods to fit their goals, preferences and comfort with different ways of working. This means plans can change as progress is made or circumstances shift.
Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls make it possible to hold fuller sessions with visual contact, while phone sessions can work when connections are simpler or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer typing, want ongoing written check-ins, or need support that fits around a busy day. Together these formats help people access consistent care without travel and with greater scheduling choice.
