About Michele

Michele Attias is a BACP counsellor with 20 years of experience who works in English and Spanish. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and the strain of life changes. She also supports those coping with addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, career concerns, parenting strain and questions around self-esteem and boundaries.

Michele listens with care and energy. She offers a calm, practical space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming. Sessions focus on making clearer decisions and taking manageable action steps to reduce overthinking and burnout.

Her approach is integrative and client-centred. That means she adapts methods to fit each person rather than following a single technique. She draws on therapies that help change unhelpful thinking, strengthen relationships, and increase emotional awareness.

Michele describes her work as holistic, addressing physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual needs when relevant. Together with each client she decides on short-term or longer-term work and tailors the pace to what feels most helpful.

She has written the book Look Inside: Stop Seeking Start Living and combines coaching and therapeutic elements to boost energy, focus and time management. Michele welcomes international clients and offers sessions in both English and Spanish.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Michele uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in ways that are easy to explain. CBT looks at thought patterns and practical habits and helps people try small changes to reduce anxiety and improve concentration. Client-centred work focuses on listening, reflecting and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and can find their own answers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This collaborative process can include short-term, goal-focused sessions or longer conversations depending on what each person needs.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and keeping momentum between meetings. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm the current options before booking so you know how sessions will be held. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to maintain regular meetings, save travel time and work therapy into a lunch break or an evening slot.
