Michelle Caleb, BACP

Michelle Caleb is a person-centred counsellor who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain and low self-esteem. She holds BACP accreditation and brings six years of practice in the United Kingdom. Her approach aims to make conversations feel straightforward and approachable for anyone feeling overwhelmed or uncertain.

She frames sessions around empathy and acceptance, believing people already have inner resources for change. Sessions are shaped by what the client brings to the room, with attention given to what matters most in the moment. This creates space to notice patterns, try new ways of relating and build confidence.

Michelle has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people facing family and relationship conflict, career stresses, eating concerns and challenges linked to neurodiversity such as autism and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Her practical focus includes communication problems, codependency and commitment worries, along with work on body image and self-worth. She aims to help people move from stuckness into clearer choices by listening closely and reflecting back what she hears.

Sessions are tailored to the individual rather than following a set script. Michelle encourages collaborative conversations about goals and next steps so clients leave with small, manageable actions and a clearer sense of direction.

How these approaches can help online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and acceptance. The counsellor reflects what is said and helps the client notice their own strengths and choices, which can help with low self-esteem, relationship problems and feelings of shame.

Mindfulness Therapy encourages simple awareness of thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations. It offers tools to manage anxiety, stress and emotional overwhelm through gentle paying attention rather than pushing feelings away.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks at what is working and builds small, practical steps toward goals. It is useful when someone wants to move through a specific problem faster and try out new strategies between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and then try a way of working together. That decision is collaborative and can be reviewed as progress continues.

Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into a busy week and reduce travel time. Confirm the session formats available before booking to know how meetings are run. Online sessions can make shorter check-ins easier and allow work to continue alongside day-to-day responsibilities.
