About Michelle
Michelle Caleb is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has six years of professional experience and works with common presenting problems such as depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, trauma and grief.
She uses a person-centred approach, also described as Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening without judgement and supporting a person to find their own solutions. Sessions concentrate on what matters most to the individual at that time. Michelle also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused methods when these fit the person’s aims.
In practical terms she talks through feelings, day-to-day difficulties and problem areas. That can include exploring attachment or abandonment concerns, managing control or dependence issues, or coping with life changes such as separation and bereavement. She also works with matters linked to neurodiversity, body image and identity issues including LGBT concerns.
Michelle has experience with carers, people facing cancer-related stress, and those dealing with eating and intimacy-related difficulties. She offers straightforward conversational work aimed at identifying small, achievable steps and building on personal strengths.
Sessions are conducted in English and based in the United Kingdom. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first appointment. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and remote counselling
Michelle uses Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on being listened to without judgement and on helping a person access their own resources for change. This approach suits people who want time to make sense of feelings and relationships. Mindfulness therapy is used to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations and to reduce reactivity; it can help with anxiety, stress and ongoing emotional difficulties. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small goals; it is useful when someone wants to identify immediate changes or clearer next steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Michelle will discuss different methods and try approaches that fit a person’s goals and preferences. Decisions about focus and techniques are made collaboratively and can be reviewed as the work continues.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep continuity of care when life circumstances change, while the counsellor and client check what works best for scheduling and contact style.
