Michelle Sewell
Calm, practical counselling for life changes
About Michelle
Michelle Sewell offers a gentle, person-centred style of counselling that puts the client's experience first. She blends practical techniques with reflective conversation to help people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship worries and life changes. Michelle holds BACP accreditation and works from an empathetic, non-judgemental stance.
Her approach adapts to what each person needs. Some sessions focus on short-term solutions and clear steps forward. Other times she looks at patterns from the past to understand how they shape current feelings and choices.
Background and approach
Michelle has four years of professional experience supporting people through grief, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and intimacy-related concerns. She also helps with issues such as body image, attachment difficulties, commitment worries and workplace stress. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical, with small, achievable goals.
Conversations with Michelle are guided by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused methods and mindfulness practices, alongside client-centred listening and psychodynamic ideas when helpful. That mix lets her tailor the work to anxiety, panic, low self-esteem and difficult life stages like midlife shifts or pregnancy and childbirth. People can expect clear explanations, calm listening and a focus on useful tools for daily life.
Michelle works with adults to address communication problems, control issues, divorce or separation concerns and questions about life purpose. The aim is to help people feel more able to make choices that fit their values.

How Michelle's Approaches Work Online
Client-centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so people can explore what matters to them and make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and uses practical exercises to change them, which can help with anxiety, panic attacks and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will discuss goals and preferences and together they will choose which methods to try. That could mean leaning on CBT for short-term coping, using Emotionally-Focused ideas to address relationship patterns, or practising mindfulness to ease stress and build self-compassion.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when writing feels easier. These formats give flexibility for people who need appointments outside usual hours, want shorter touchpoints, or prefer not to commute to appointments.
