Michelle McGee , BACP

Michelle McGee offers calm, straightforward support for people facing stressful life moments and emotional strain. She focuses on helping clients manage anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and major life changes. Michelle aims to create a space where people can talk openly and begin to feel more steady.

She works in a respectful, sensitive way and adapts conversations to each person's needs. Sessions are shaped around what matters most to the client rather than a fixed script. Michelle acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and she aims to make the process approachable and manageable.

With five years of experience, Michelle has supported people through grief, family conflict, parenting strain and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She has also worked with people experiencing trauma, abuse and concerns related to sexuality or identity within the LGBT spectrum. Her practice includes helping clients with career-related stress, ADHD-related challenges and coping when life feels overwhelming.

Michelle uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people notice patterns, try new ways of coping and set achievable goals. She pays attention to attachment and communication dynamics when relationship or blended-family tensions are present. Michelle also offers support around body image, fertility and end-of-life caregiving stress.

Sessions are offered in English and are provided through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Michelle is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she sees clients in the United Kingdom.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Michelle uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people cope and make small changes that add up. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours so anxiety and low mood are easier to manage; this helps with stress, worry and daily functioning. Another approach emphasises understanding attachment and relationship patterns to improve communication and reduce conflict in close relationships and blended-family situations.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle will discuss options with each person, try different strategies when needed and adapt the work to fit goals and daily life. The aim is to find techniques that feel useful and realistic for the individual rather than rigidly following a single method.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to use a camera. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments while maintaining continuity of care.
