Michelle Singh, BACP

Michelle Singh is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns, and she uses practical talk and shared planning to help people move forward. Michelle frames clients as the experts in their own lives and looks for strengths to build on.

Her sessions are straightforward and conversational. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns, manage difficult feelings and try new behaviours. That often means setting small goals, testing out changes between sessions and noticing what helps in real life.

Michelle also supports people with issues such as grief, trauma and intimacy-related worries. She helps clients who are exploring identity, LGBT concerns, parenting stress, caregiving strain and work-related pressures. Practical coping tools and clearer communication strategies are common focuses.

People who prefer a warm, non-judgemental style tend to do well with her. Sessions are client-led but guided, so there is room to address both immediate problems and longer-term patterns. Michelle aims to make the work manageable and relevant to each person’s daily life.

Therapy can be offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. She encourages clients to take small steps between sessions and to reflect on what changes feel useful.

Therapy approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then take steps that align with their values. It can help when anxiety, depression or uncertainty get in the way of living the life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple experiments and homework to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That way the plan can change over time if something is not helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions are lighter on bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat or text messaging can suit people who prefer short, frequent check-ins or who find written reflection easier. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving and other life demands.
