Practical goals such as career strain, sleeping difficulties and parenting stress are also part of her work.
Michelle also offers help around ADHD, compassion fatigue and caring responsibilities, plus more specific areas such as adoption and foster care, attachment issues, chronic illness and ageing concerns. She is experienced with alternative sex culture topics including BDSM and kink and with blended family and commitment issues.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online delivery
Michelle commonly draws on hypnotherapy, client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy in online work. Hypnotherapy is used as a relaxed, guided process to help people access unhelpful patterns and imagine different responses. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels understood and can lead the pace of change. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety or low mood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and try different methods to see what fits best. Together they agree a plan that matches the person's needs and aims to build useful skills over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth and simpler to fit into breaks. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caring responsibilities and daily life.
