Michele Findley , BACP

Michele Findley is a neurodivergent-affirming, licensed therapist practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of hands-on experience. She holds BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and offers compassionate, respectful support to people navigating difficult moments in life.

She specialises in work with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns, and she supports clients through significant life transitions. Michele is also trained in EMDR - eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing - which she uses to help people recover from PTSD, complex trauma, and abuse. EMDR can also be applied to specific phobias, social anxiety, and panic disorder.

Michele’s practice is grounded in respect, sensitivity, and genuine compassion. She recognises that every person’s experience is unique and adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit individual needs and goals. Taking the first step toward change often takes courage, and she commends people for reaching out.

Across her practice Michele has supported people coping with worry, anxiety, grief, feeling lost, sadness, low self-worth, intrusive thoughts, addiction, relationship challenges, anger management, and PTSD. She also works with individuals managing long-term conditions and unexplained illnesses. Her aim is to provide a supportive space where people can explore their experiences and begin a path toward healing and growth.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Michele commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, and supports them to take actions that align with their values - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and can help with relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, and feelings of abandonment. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, offering empathetic, nonjudgmental listening to help people explore their experience and build self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Michele works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are shaped together, with flexibility to try different methods as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Michele is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing practical options for different lifestyles and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations, fit therapy around work or family commitments, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
