About Michaela
Michaela Probert is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has five years' experience and works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns among other issues. Sessions are conducted in English and she practises in the United Kingdom.
Michaela draws on several counselling approaches rather than one set method. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas alongside Jungian perspectives. In practice this means she listens, helps you notice patterns, and works on small, practical steps that can change daily life.
She commonly supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, anger and difficulties with intimacy. Michaela also works with issues linked to parenting, career change, sleeping problems and ADHD. Additional areas she lists include adoption and foster care, attachment issues and codependency.
In a session she focuses on clear conversation and reflection. You can expect to talk through what feels most pressing, look at thoughts and behaviours, and try out new ways of coping. The counsellor aims to help you make sense of difficult feelings and to build steadier ways of managing them.
Her practice is described as integrative, which means she mixes methods to suit the work being done. If you want to start, the usual route is to use the site matching process and schedule a first meeting to see if it feels like a good fit.
Approaches used in online counselling and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them. It helps when worry or low mood get in the way of everyday goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at patterns of thought and action and tests small changes to reduce distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep issues. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current ways of connecting. It can help with intimacy difficulties and relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your aims and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.
The original profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel. It can allow shorter check-ins, avoid a commute, and make attending from different locations simpler. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, can use these ways of working to keep therapy practical and integrated into everyday life.
