About Michelle
Michelle Allard is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression and low mood, relationship problems, grief and loss, and anger. She also supports people dealing with addiction, body image and identity concerns including LGBT and gender dysphoria issues.
Michelle uses a flexible, integrative style rather than a single method. She combines ideas from attachment work, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. Sessions focus on understanding how past experiences shape current thoughts and reactions. The aim is to help people notice patterns that lead to repeated struggles and find different ways to respond.
Her approach is collaborative and practical. She helps people identify small, manageable steps to change how they think and act when anger or stress arise. Conversations may include looking at unhelpful thinking, trying out new responses, and exploring relational patterns that fuel resentment or conflict.
Michelle offers both short-term work for specific problems and longer-term support for deeper issues. She emphasises pacing the work to the individual and recognising personal strengths. The therapist frames the client as the expert in their own story and works with them to build clearer ways forward.
Sessions are suitable for adults facing life changes, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, and trauma or abuse recovery. International clients who speak English can also be supported. For booking, follow the site's process to view online therapy options and schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online work fits
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It looks at recurring ways of relating and helps people notice how those patterns influence anger and closeness. Client-Centred Therapy centres on careful listening and reflective conversation. It supports people to make sense of their feelings and decide what changes matter to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests them against real situations to change emotional and behavioural reactions.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Michelle treats approach choice as collaborative. Together they review goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan when something is not helping. That way the work stays practical and focused on what the person wants to change about their reactions and relationships.
The original biography does not specify which online session types are used, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-in meetings when needed. It also lets people continue work if they are living abroad. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt attachment, client-centred and CBT tools to an online setting to address anger, stress and relationship concerns.
