About Michele
Michele Attias is a BACP counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed, anxious or stuck. She offers a calm, attentive presence and speaks both English and Spanish. Michele focuses on helping people manage stress, grief, low mood and life changes so they can think more clearly and act with less worry.
With 20 years' experience, Michele combines practical tools and conversational work. She uses client-centred listening alongside approaches that look at values, thoughts and attachment patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions are paced to each person's needs and can be short-term or longer depending on goals. Her work covers a wide range of everyday concerns. These include anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, addiction and compassion fatigue.
She also supports people with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, career questions and identity concerns including LGBT topics. Michele draws on psychological strategies such as cognitive behavioural techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help with thinking patterns and behavioural change. She also uses attachment-based ideas to explore connection and relational patterns.
Existential therapy features when people want to discuss meaning, values and life direction. Clients can expect clear aims and actionable steps alongside reflective conversations.

Online support
How Michele’s approaches work online
Michele draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in online work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and focus on actions that match their values, which is useful for anxiety, stress and motivation. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship patterns affect current ways of relating, which can help with intimacy, communication and trust.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michele collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That may mean using values-based ACT exercises one week and exploring attachment themes the next, always checking in about what is helpful.
Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversational work and body language; phone calls can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter reflections or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving and travel while keeping the focus on change and clarity.
