About Michaela Probert

Michaela Probert offers calm, focused support for people feeling low, overwhelmed, or unsure about what to change in their lives. She creates a listening space where someone can explore concerns without receiving prescriptive advice, instead being offered compassionate, non-judgemental attention that encourages reflection and self-understanding. Her aim is to help people reconnect with their own strengths and move toward the personal goals that matter to them, building confidence and practical skills to manage day-to-day challenges.

Michaela works as an integrative counsellor in the United Kingdom, drawing on a range of approaches so the work can be tailored to each individual. Her training includes Gestalt, person-centred methods, cognitive behavioural techniques, and psychodynamic ideas, combined in a flexible way to suit different needs and preferences. That adaptability means she can focus on strategies for managing stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, trauma, parenting, career issues, ADHD, self-esteem, and other concerns listed among her specialisms.

She is a BACP member, which indicates recognised professional standing with the main counselling association in the UK. Michaela welcomes people who are seeking clearer ways to handle current difficulties or a stronger sense of meaning, and she looks forward to supporting new clients as they begin their therapeutic work.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Michaela commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside cognitive behavioural ideas to guide her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and it supports commitment to actions that reflect personal values - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections, which can be helpful for relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, and attachment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often supporting difficulties such as anxiety, low mood, and sleep problems.

Michaela approaches the choice of method collaboratively, acknowledging that finding the right therapeutic style is part of the process. She works with each person to consider needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt the approach over time so the work stays relevant and effective for them.

Online therapy with Michaela is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from home, during work breaks, or while managing parenting and other commitments, while keeping the focus on consistent, goal-oriented progress in therapy.
