Michelle Caleb, BACP

Michelle Caleb offers a person-centred approach that puts the client's own goals at the heart of each session. She uses empathy and non-judgemental listening to help people name what matters most to them and find ways forward. Michelle holds BACP registration, which she applies across her practice in the United Kingdom.

She has six years of experience supporting people with stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with addictions, grief and a range of relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Other focus areas include self-esteem, career questions, eating issues and coping with life changes including divorce and separation.

Michelle works with people who are exploring neurodiversity concerns such as autism and Asperger syndrome and addresses attachment, abandonment and personality-related patterns in a calm way. She also supports those dealing with caregiver strain, cancer-related challenges and body image concerns.

Sessions are shaped around what the client brings each week. Michelle uses client-centred listening alongside mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to keep sessions practical and grounded. Conversations tend to centre on small, achievable steps and on developing clearer self-understanding.

Her style is straightforward and warm. Michelle encourages people to move at their own pace while working towards clearer choices and better coping strategies. She offers appointments online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Person-centred and practical approaches for online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places attention on the person's own perspective and choices. The therapist offers warm, non-judgemental listening so a person can better understand their feelings and decide what they want to change. This approach helps when someone needs space to explore identity, self-esteem or relationship concerns.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills to manage stress and anxiety. Short practices and attention exercises are used to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can be helpful for low mood, worry and coping with life changes.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small goals. Sessions identify what is already working and build on strengths, which suits people who want clear, achievable actions and faster progress.

Finding the right mix is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the client’s needs, goals and preferences and together they will choose the most useful approaches. This collaborative process means methods can be adjusted over time to match changing priorities.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins and text messaging suits ongoing brief reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life.
