Michelle Sewell , BACP

Michelle Sewell is a United Kingdom based therapist who uses an integrative approach to tailor therapy to each person's individual needs and goals. She blends practical, solution-focused work with opportunities to explore the past, so clients can choose whether to target immediate problems or gain deeper self-understanding. Holding BACP credentials - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she brings four years of clinical experience to her practice and adapts methods to suit different styles of working.

Michelle places the collaborative relationship at the centre of therapy, emphasising that change happens through a shared process rather than something done to a person. Her style aims to create an accepting, nonjudgmental space where people can reflect on their lives, examine patterns, and build skills to face current challenges. She has experience working with both adults and children on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions and relationship difficulties.

Whether someone seeks short-term problem solving, deeper exploration of attachment and past experiences, or simply a place to be heard, Michelle aims to empower clients to increase self-awareness, develop coping strategies, and move toward their personal goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Michelle draws on client-centered therapy to provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where the client's own perspective guides the work; this approach helps with self-esteem, life transitions and building a stronger sense of self. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce symptoms of anxiety, panic and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy - EFT - is used when relationship patterns and attachment concerns are a focus, helping people explore emotional responses and improve connection with partners.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Michelle works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. The process is shared and flexible, allowing adjustments as therapy unfolds.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or work and can accommodate busy schedules, mobility limits or geographical constraints. These options support continuity of care and allow therapists and clients to work together in ways that suit the client's life and practical needs.
