About Michelle
Michelle Jo is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She draws on five years of professional experience and a degree in psychology to support people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and related concerns. She uses mindfulness tools such as breathing techniques, body scans and guided meditation to help people manage difficult feelings and build steadier routines.
Her approach is collaborative and practical. She treats the person as the expert in their own life and helps them find small, manageable steps forward. Sessions often include psychoeducation so clients can better understand their reactions and learn skills like assertiveness and clearer communication.
Michelle combines elements from cognitive behavioural ideas and acceptance-based work to help people notice unhelpful thinking and choose values-aligned behaviour. She also uses attachment-informed perspectives to look at relationship patterns that affect how people connect and respond to others.
Mindfulness practice is woven into sessions when helpful, and exercises are offered to use between meetings. Michelle aims to balance hands-on skill building with space to talk through past hurts, losses or difficult life changes.
She accepts international clients and offers a compassionate, down-to-earth style for people wanting to cope better with life stressors, grief, career pressures, addictive behaviours and intimacy-related issues.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and decisions about life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in how people connect and respond to others, which can be useful for relationship and intimacy-related issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That may include mixing mindfulness practice with cognitive techniques or focusing on attachment patterns depending on what the person needs.
Confirm the session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or removing the need to be on camera if that helps the person engage. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises, guided meditations and skills practice for remote sessions so people can continue learning between meetings.
