About Michelle King

Michelle King is a psychotherapeutic counsellor and clinical supervisor who works with both adolescents and adults facing difficulties such as anxiety, depression, self-harming behaviours and neurodivergence. She supports people navigating traumatic events, loss, and the uncertainty that can follow major life changes, offering one-to-one counselling tailored to each person’s circumstances and preferences.

Her practice is informed by a person-centred approach, which places the individual’s experience at the heart of therapy. That framework is often combined with creative techniques and practical, strategy-based work so sessions can include talking, expressive methods or goal-focused planning depending on what best meets the client’s needs. Michelle will follow the topics a client brings to sessions while also gently challenging unhelpful patterns to support greater self-understanding and change.

Sessions may include exploration of past experiences to understand their effect on current behaviour and relationships, and Michelle provides supportive guidance aimed at healing and growth. She is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and applies professional standards in her supervisory and therapeutic roles. Michelle welcomes the opportunity to work with people seeking a clearer view of their future and renewed capacity to cope.

Person-centred and Creative Techniques for Online Support

Michelle King draws on person-centred practice, which focuses on listening carefully and helping individuals explore their own thoughts and feelings at their own pace - an approach that can be especially helpful for anxiety, grief and relationship challenges. She also uses creative therapy methods, incorporating art, writing or other expressive techniques to access feelings that are difficult to put into words and to support processing of trauma and loss. In addition, Michelle employs strategy-based work that introduces practical tools and steps to manage stress, build coping skills and address day-to-day difficulties.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. Registered professionals and therapists will work with the client to identify goals, consider preferences and adapt methods over time so the chosen approach fits the client’s needs and circumstances.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter contacts can be arranged through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and mobility needs, while keeping continuity of care and support accessible from different locations.
