About Michelle

Michelle Singh is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns, and also supports those dealing with parenting pressures and grief. Michelle uses several talking approaches to help people manage difficult moments and make practical changes.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviours. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that matter to them. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at how past experiences shape current reactions.

Michelle describes clients as the experts on their own stories and focuses on helping people recognise their strengths. Sessions aim to be straightforward and problem-focused when needed, while also making space to understand recurring patterns. She works with issues such as intimacy-related problems, sleep disruption, anger and workplace stress.

Additional areas she can assist with include ADHD, attachment and adoption-related concerns, caregiver strain, chronic illness, codependency and aspects of kink and alternative sexual culture. She also supports people facing career changes and compassion fatigue.

Michelle offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment, which helps set practical steps for early sessions.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Michelle commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try small changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and committing to actions that reflect what matters most in life, which can help with parenting stress and relationship distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Michelle treats it as a collaborative task. She will discuss what feels most useful and adapt sessions to match goals and preferences. Clients can expect to review what works and adjust the focus as therapy continues.

The original biography indicates sessions can take place via live instant messaging, video or telephone call. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you can choose what fits your routine. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove the time spent travelling to appointments.
