About Michelle
Michelle Caleb is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship difficulties. Michelle also supports people dealing with self-esteem struggles, grief, intimacy-related issues and life changes including career shifts and caregiving stress.
She practices using client-centred principles. That means sessions focus on the client's perspective and priorities. Michelle listens without judgement and helps people notice their own strengths and choices. Sessions concentrate on what the client brings each week rather than following a rigid script.
Michelle also uses mindfulness techniques to help people manage overwhelming thoughts and strong emotions. Those practices can be useful for panic, ongoing worry and for grounding after trauma. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify small, practical steps clients can try between sessions when facing specific problems like communication or boundary-setting.
Her background includes working with a wide range of presenting issues, including neurodiversity-related concerns such as autism and ADHD, and relational patterns such as codependency and attachment difficulties. Michelle has experience supporting people from diverse backgrounds and identities, including LGBT clients.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented when that suits the client, or more open and exploratory when people need to process feelings. If someone is thinking of starting, Michelle asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches shape online sessions
Michelle uses client-centred therapy online to keep the focus on what matters most to the client. That approach involves listening closely to the client’s concerns and prioritising their goals each session. It works well for people who want to explore feelings, identity or relationship patterns without a fixed agenda.She also draws on mindfulness therapy in sessions to teach simple grounding and attention techniques. These practices help with racing thoughts, panic and emotional overwhelm and can be practised between sessions. Solution-focused work is used to set small, practical goals and identify steps a person can try between meetings to improve communication or boundary-setting.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Michelle will discuss what feels most useful in the first meetings and adjust methods based on progress and preferences. Clients and therapist decide together whether to emphasise listening, skill-building or short-term problem solving.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit sessions around work, caregiving or busy days and can make it easier to use short check-ins, practice exercises between meetings, or plan step-by-step actions that slot into everyday life.
