Michele Mckillop , BACP

Michele Mckillop is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She holds BACP accreditation, which reflects her standing within a UK counselling body. Michele focuses on helping people who are struggling with relationship troubles, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns.

She believes clients know their stories best and brings a collaborative attitude to each session. Michele looks for existing strengths and helps people use those strengths to make changes. She talks plainly and aims to make each meeting practical and manageable.

In sessions Michele supports people through common life shifts such as divorce, midlife change and caregiving stress. She also helps with issues like attachment wounds, abandonment, body image and loneliness. Her work touches on mood difficulties and post-traumatic stress in ways that centre the person’s own goals.

Michele’s style is supportive and empowering. She encourages honest conversation about guilt, shame, impulsivity and communication problems. The approach is steady and focused on small steps that add up over time.

People who want to explore life purpose, deal with narcissistic patterns in others, or work on forgiveness will find a practical, down-to-earth counsellor in Michele. She aims to help people move from feeling stuck to finding clearer options and more self-directed choices.

How evidence-based techniques work online

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques aim to help people understand patterns and try new ways of coping. One common approach focuses on recognising how attachment and past wounds shape current relationships; it helps people spot repeating patterns and practice different responses that feel safer and more satisfying. Another approach emphasises step-by-step coping skills for trauma and mood problems, teaching practical tools to manage strong emotions and reduce distress in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele will explore your needs, goals and preferences together with you and choose methods that suit your situation. That collaborative process makes it easier to adapt techniques so they fit your life and what you hope to change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you keep face-to-face contact while working from home or elsewhere. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving and other commitments, while still working with registered or accredited professionals and therapists.
