About Michaela
Michaela Kendall offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by parenting pressures and wider life stresses. She aims to make sessions practical and calm so parents can take small steps forward. Her approach is warm and respectful, with space to slow down and talk through what is causing strain.
Michaela works from what people bring to the room rather than a fixed script. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, and uses emotionally focused techniques to help name and shift difficult feelings.
Background and approach
Mindfulness is used to build simple skills for grounding when anxiety or grief feel intense. She has four years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background informs how she plans sessions and the kind of therapeutic choices she offers.
Sessions are adapted to what each person needs at the time. Michaela often supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, compassion fatigue, addictions, and intimacy concerns. She also helps those facing family conflict, relationship strain, and the particular stresses of parenting.
Conversations focus on practical ways to cope and to notice when things shift. People can expect a collaborative tone in meetings. Michaela listens for patterns, offers tools such as mindfulness exercises, and helps set achievable goals.
The emphasis is on gradual change and on building skills that fit everyday family life.

Working online using relationship and mindfulness approaches
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape how people respond to stress now. It helps identify repeated patterns in close relationships and offers ways to build more supported, dependable interactions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, concentrates on recognising and naming hard emotions, then trying new ways to respond in relationships so closeness can improve. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple exercises to notice feelings and bodily sensations, which can reduce reactivity and make parenting moments easier to manage.Michaela treats finding the right approach as a shared process. She will talk through your goals and preferences, try different ways of working, and adjust the focus as things change. That collaborative method helps ensure the approach fits your situation rather than being imposed from the start.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Text and chat are useful for shorter check-ins or when writing helps you reflect between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family routines and to keep regular appointments even when life gets hectic.
