About Michelle
Michelle Sewell is a counsellor who blends different therapeutic approaches to meet each person’s needs. She offers a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem and parenting challenges. Michelle works with practical goals and also makes room to look at past experiences when helpful.
She uses client-centred listening to help people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to spot patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety or anger and to build new coping skills.
Background and approach
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and express difficult feelings in clearer ways. Michelle also draws on mindfulness to calm the nervous system and psychodynamic ideas to uncover recurring themes from earlier life that still affect day-to-day choices. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person, whether that is managing panic attacks, navigating grief, or dealing with workplace stress.
Her approach is practical and grounded, not full of jargon. She has four years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Michelle works with adults who want to change how they cope, repair important relationships, or find clearer direction in life.
People usually begin by naming one or two immediate goals and then checking in on progress each week. Therapy can include short-term solution-focused work or longer exploration of feeling and history, depending on what the person wants.

How Michelle's approaches work online
Michelle uses client-centred therapy to create a calm, listening space where the conversation follows what matters to the person. This approach helps people feel understood and decide what they want to change.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used online to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioural experiments. It suits issues like anxiety, panic and workplace stress where clear strategies can reduce symptoms.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work through strong emotions so they feel less overwhelming. This can be useful for relationship worries, intimacy-related concerns and grief.
Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, run short trials of techniques and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process is part of the work itself.
Online sessions are offered via video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging works for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel commitments.
