Michele Findley, BACP

Michele Findley offers calm, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. She introduces practical steps in short, clear sessions and helps people make sense of what feels overwhelming. Michele uses simple, steady language so a worried parent can follow along and feel more in control.

She adapts each conversation to the person's needs and goals. Michele draws on approaches that focus on values, thoughts and emotions to help people cope with panic, grief, addiction and life changes. She also supports those dealing with long-term health issues, intrusive thoughts and low self-worth.

Michele has seven years of experience working in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. Her practice is neurodivergent-affirming and attentive to differences in how people think and process information. Sessions move at a pace that suits the individual and focus on what matters most to them.

In session she listens without judgement and helps people notice patterns that keep problems stuck. That can mean trying different ways of understanding feelings, or testing small, practical changes between meetings. She uses exercises and short reflections that are easy to use in daily life.

People who want flexible options can work remotely by video, phone, chat or messaging. Taking the first step means completing a short matching form and booking a time that fits the person's schedule.

How Michele’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values even when feelings are hard. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns in thoughts and behaviours and testing different ways of responding to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It can help with panic, intrusive thoughts and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotions and how they shape close relationships, helping people understand and express feelings more clearly to reduce conflict and build connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele treats decisions about method as a joint process and will suggest options based on the person's goals, needs and preferences. She will check in and adjust the plan as things change so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or need lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style support or when someone wants to reflect between longer sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and make regular contact more practical for different schedules and needs.
