About Michelle

Michelle Lindsay is a fully qualified counsellor and a Registered Member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) in the UK. She works with a broad range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and confidence difficulties, work and student-related pressures, relationship challenges, and low mood or depression. Her practice spans both online and in-person settings, and she has experience in private practice as well as working within community organisations.

Michelle’s approach is integrative and humanistic, drawing primarily on Person Centred and Existential therapies and placing strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship. She may also incorporate elements from other models such as Gestalt, attachment theory, or cognitive-behavioural techniques where these align with a client’s needs and preferences. She works collaboratively to understand the factors that have brought a person to therapy and to clarify what they hope to achieve from sessions.

Believing that each person is the expert on their own life, Michelle aims to help clients recognise their strengths and take courageous steps toward more fulfilling, sustainable change. She offers a nonjudgmental space in which individuals can explore their concerns and consider practical ways forward, and she supports clients through the process of finding what works best for them.

Person-Centred and Existential Approaches for Online Support

Client-Centred Therapy, also called Person Centred, focuses on creating a respectful, non-directive space in which the therapist offers empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuine listening. This approach helps people clarify their feelings, build self-understanding, and find their own solutions to issues such as low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Existential Therapy explores themes like meaning, freedom, responsibility, and the challenges of living. It supports people confronting questions about identity, purpose, loss, or major life changes by helping them reflect on values and make authentic choices.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Michelle works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Conversations in early sessions help determine whether a person-centred stance, existential exploration, or a blend of techniques will be most helpful, and adjustments are made as the work progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access licensed professionals from home or elsewhere. These options can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or mobility needs and allow individuals to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them while still receiving consistent therapeutic support.
