Michelle Taylor
Person-centred counsellor focusing on recovery
About Michelle
Michelle Taylor offers person-centred counselling that follows each client’s pace and priorities. She places the client at the wheel and focuses on building a trusting, non-judgemental relationship to help people talk through what matters most to them. Michelle uses a straightforward approach that lets conversations unfold naturally.
Sessions can be short term or longer, depending on the issue and how a person prefers to work. The first meetings tend to be about answering questions and finding the right rhythm together.
Background and approach
She has 11 years of experience supporting adults from varied backgrounds. Much of this work has involved domestic and sexual abuse and bereavement, but she also helps with anxiety, depression, stress and relationship concerns. Michelle pays attention to how past losses or attachment problems show up now.
People come for many reasons including addictions, eating and sleeping struggles, parenting strain, career stress, and difficulties with intimacy or self-esteem. She also offers support around panic, self-harm, bipolar challenges and coping with life changes. The focus is on listening carefully and helping people make sense of their feelings.
Michelle is registered with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. Sessions are offered in English and take place by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Person-centred therapy online and how it helps
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person rather than fixing problems. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects feelings back and helps people find their own solutions; this approach can be helpful for anxiety, depression, relationship worries and grief.The therapeutic process is collaborative. Michelle will work with each client to find the most helpful way to proceed, discussing goals, pace and which format feels most useful. Together they decide whether short-term or longer work fits the situation and adjust as needs change.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give real flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or need more frequent, brief contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel commitments while keeping the focus on what the client wants to work on.
