Michelle Sewell , BACP

Michelle Sewell holds the BACP credential (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and works with adults and children across a range of emotional and relational concerns. She adopts an integrative style, blending elements from different therapeutic traditions so each conversation can be shaped to the client's specific needs - whether that looks like solution-focused work or a deeper exploration of past experiences to better understand present patterns.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process, believing that meaningful change happens when therapist and client work together. Her practice emphasizes an accepting, nonjudgmental space where people are invited to reflect on their lives, consider both past and present, and build skills and insight to move forward.

With four years of clinical experience, Michelle has supported people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions and relationship difficulties. Her approach aims to empower clients to identify goals, practice new ways of coping, and pursue greater emotional freedom and resilience.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Michelle Sewell draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an empathic, accepting environment where the client's priorities lead the pace of sessions, helping with self-exploration, self-esteem, and relational concerns. CBT offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be especially useful for managing anxiety, stress, and mood difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Michelle treats this as a collaborative process. She works with clients to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the focus over time so the therapy fits individual needs and preferences. Licensed professionals bring a range of methods, and the best fit often emerges through open discussion and shared decision making.

Online therapy with Michelle can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and integrate therapeutic work into everyday life.
