Michelle Lindsay, BACP

Michelle Lindsay is a counsellor and a Registered Member of BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She offers calm, down-to-earth support for people facing worry, low mood, relationship strain and life shifts. Michelle describes herself as relational and person-centred in how she engages with clients.

Michelle draws mainly on Client-Centred and Existential approaches to help people make sense of difficult situations. She listens without judgement and helps people find their own next steps. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on practical ways to cope with day-to-day pressure.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She also supports people with relationship and intimacy difficulties, parenting worries, career stress and issues related to neurodiversity such as autism and ADHD.

Michelle has four years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom. She has worked in private practice and within community organisations, and she meets people who prefer in-person or online sessions. Her aim is to help clients recognise their strengths and to work with them to build steps forward that feel manageable.

People who choose Michelle can expect a conversational, steady approach that centres the client's experience. She invites clients to explore what led them here and to test out new ways of handling old problems. When someone is ready to begin, she offers collaborative support to help them move toward clearer days.

How Person-Centred and Existential Approaches Work Online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and following the client's pace. The counsellor offers empathy and reflective listening to help people clarify what they want and which changes feel right for them. This approach is useful for concerns like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and coping with life transitions.

Existential Therapy invites people to talk about meaning, values and personal choice. It helps when someone feels stuck or is facing major life decisions, including midlife change. Sessions encourage honest reflection about what matters and practical steps that match a person's priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will discuss aims and preferences with each person and decide together which methods fit best. That collaborative planning means the approach can shift as needs evolve.
