About Michelle
Michelle Lindsay is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of experience. Michelle focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, trauma, relationship worries, parenting strains and work-related pressures.
She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what is troubling them. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person.
Background and approach
The aim is to listen, reflect and help people make sense of their situation so they can find a way forward. Michelle draws mainly on Existential therapy and Client-Centred approaches. She works in a relational way and may also use ideas from Gestalt, attachment theory or cognitive behavioural approaches when helpful.
The emphasis is on understanding how a person’s life, choices and relationships connect to the problems they face. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including self-esteem, grief, intimacy issues, anger, ADHD and identity matters such as gender dysphoria and LGBT-related issues. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving stress, family-of-origin issues and major life transitions.
Sessions are available online by video, phone, live chat or messaging. To begin, a brief matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to the therapist’s availability.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Existential therapy focuses on questions about meaning, choice and responsibility. In short sessions this means talking about what matters most to a person and how values, relationships and life events shape their experience. It can help when people feel stuck, empty or unsure about direction.Client-Centred therapy places the person at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is said and follows the client’s pace. This approach supports people who need acceptance, to build self-esteem, or to work through relationship and identity concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and the counsellor works collaboratively to agree what will help most. Together they review needs, goals and preferences and adjust the way they work as understanding grows.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for a fuller conversational feel, phone works well when internet bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins and messaging lets people reflect in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping therapy consistent and accessible.
