About Michelle
Michelle Freeman is a BACP counsellor with 13 years of practice experience. She offers talking therapy alongside hypnotherapy and other approaches. Michelle aims to create a calm space where people can speak about their worries and begin to make changes.
She works in a flexible, integrative way. That means she chooses methods to suit each person rather than using one fixed style. Sessions can focus on immediate coping skills or on longer term patterns, depending on what is needed.
Background and approach
Michelle often helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, and relationship or intimacy difficulties. She also supports those facing issues with self-esteem, anger, eating and ADHD. She pays attention to how past losses or attachment problems shape current reactions.
Her approach is grounded in client-centred practice, so she listens with respect and without judgement. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy elements, EMDR and hypnotherapy where appropriate to the person and the problem. Sessions aim to be collaborative.
Michelle works at a pace you can manage and helps people set practical goals. Creative options are available when someone prefers non-verbal ways to express themselves. Michelle works with adults and offers online sessions.
She accepts international clients and conducts therapy in English. If someone wants to begin, they can follow the platform steps to match and schedule a consultation.

Online support
Approaches that translate to online therapy
Michelle uses hypnotherapy to help people access focused relaxation and mental rehearsal, which can support sleep, anxiety and habit change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in avoidance. Client-centred therapy provides a listening, non-judgemental environment where the person sets the pace and the counsellor follows their lead.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that seem likely to help, adjusting based on how the person responds. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits the client's goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video works well for fuller conversation and visual connection, while phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier on low-data connections. Live chat or messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options offer flexibility for fitting sessions around work, travel or other commitments, and make it possible to continue with therapy even when schedules change.
