About Michelle
Michelle Burke is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and low self-esteem. She works with individuals experiencing depression, motivation challenges and the strain of life changes. Michelle uses a calm, respectful approach and aims to make the first step feel less daunting for anyone reaching out.
Michelle has four years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which she uses to shape how she practices. She adapts sessions to each person's needs rather than using a fixed formula. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on small, practical steps that can be taken between meetings.
Her Psychodynamic Therapy approach looks at patterns that repeat across relationships and over time. This can help people understand how past experiences influence current feelings and choices, and may be useful for issues like attachment concerns, abandonment, and problems with trust or communication.
Michelle also pays attention to everyday pressures such as caregiver stress, blended family tensions, and money and financial issues. She aims to help clients untangle guilt, shame, and isolation while building clearer ways to act and respond.
Sessions are tailored to the person and their situation, with a focus on respectful listening and practical planning. Michelle encourages clients to set achievable goals and to review progress together so therapy stays relevant and useful.
How Psychodynamic Therapy works online and what to expect
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at repeating patterns in feelings and relationships and how earlier experiences shape current behaviour. In practice this means talking through situations that keep happening, noticing common emotional responses, and gently linking those to past events to help bring greater self-understanding.Michelle uses that same approach as part of a collaborative process. She will work with each person to assess needs, goals and preferences, and will adapt sessions as understanding grows. Together they decide whether the psychodynamic focus is helping or whether a different emphasis would be more useful.
Because the original biography does not list particular session formats, please confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people maintain continuity of support when circumstances change. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss practical arrangements and suggest a rhythm of sessions that suits the client's schedule and goals.
