Michelle Lindsay is a fully qualified counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), bringing four years of professional experience supporting people across a range of life challenges. Based in the United Kingdom, she has worked in both private practice and community settings, with experience delivering therapy in person and online.
She works with a wide spectrum of concerns including stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and confidence, low mood and depression, relationship and family difficulties, LGBT and gender-related issues, grief and intimacy-related problems, parenting and caregiver stress, ADHD, and career-related matters. Her practice also addresses attachment and abandonment issues, body image and shame, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and the complexities of separation and divorce.

She supports clients to explore what has led them to seek help and to identify personal strengths and practical steps for change. Michelle aims to offer a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can be heard, seen and supported as they consider ways forward.

Client-centered and existential work through online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental environment in which a person is listened to and accepted. It helps people explore their feelings, build self-understanding and strengthen their own capacity to make choices and move forward, which is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life transitions.Existential Therapy invites reflection on meaning, values and personal responsibility, encouraging people to consider how they want to live despite uncertainty or loss. This approach can be particularly helpful for those facing grief, major life changes, feelings of emptiness or questions about purpose.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Michelle draws on person-centred and existential ideas and will work with each person to determine what best fits their needs, goals and preferences. Registered professionals often tailor techniques and the pace of work to match what a client finds most helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone enable real-time conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging provide alternative ways to connect between or instead of scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments and can increase access for those who prefer remote support.
