About Michele

Michele Kavanagh is a qualified integrative counsellor who works within a clear ethical framework to offer empathetic, nonjudgmental support. She draws on a blend of therapeutic approaches to tailor sessions to each person, helping with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, anger, motivation, and confidence. Michele also supports people navigating grief, trauma and abuse, caregiving stress, addiction, intimacy challenges, parenting difficulties, and life transitions.

In sessions she aims to create an open, safe space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of criticism. Michele emphasizes being both listened to and truly heard, and she strives to understand each client’s world from their perspective with compassion and acceptance. She recognises the courage it takes to begin therapy and affirms clients for taking that first step.

Michele holds BACP accreditation, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and adheres to its professional standards. Her integrative orientation allows her to combine methods to meet individual needs while maintaining a consistent emphasis on empathic listening and collaborative work.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Michele commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgmental environment that encourages self-exploration and helps clients build self-acceptance and confidence. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and supports work on trust, intimacy, and relationship difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, offering practical strategies for coping with anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Michele approaches this collaboratively. She will work with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, and tailor techniques from these approaches to find the best fit together. Licensed professionals and therapists draw on different methods to support change, and Michele aligns her work with what suits the individual.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access support from familiar surroundings while working toward personal goals.
