Michaela Kendall , BACP

Michaela Kendall is a UK-based therapist with four years of professional experience who brings a compassionate, person-focused approach to complex emotional challenges. She holds BACP accreditation - membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and has supported people through trauma, stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, grief and loss, and other life adjustments.

Michaela emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and empathy in the therapy room, tailoring each session to the individual needs and circumstances of the person she is working with. She aims to create a slower, reflective space where clients can check in, explore difficult feelings, and begin to understand themselves more clearly. That first step toward asking for help is acknowledged as brave, and Michaela prioritizes empowering clients as they move toward greater self-awareness and relief.

Skilled in addressing issues such as self-esteem, addictions, LGBT concerns, intimacy-related problems, parenting struggles, depression, and compassion fatigue, she integrates approaches that suit each person’s goals. Her practice focuses on supporting people through both immediate crises and longer-term healing, with an emphasis on collaboration and practical emotional support rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Michaela Kendall

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape patterns of connection and emotional responses. Michaela uses this approach to help clients explore how attachment styles influence current relationships, communication, and feelings of security, which can be helpful for couples, parents, and anyone struggling with intimacy or trust.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and shifting emotional responses that underlie relationship distress. Through guided exploration of feelings and interaction patterns, this approach aims to improve emotional bonding and reduce recurrent conflicts in close relationships.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical skills for noticing thoughts, bodily sensations, and emotions without judgment. These techniques can reduce overwhelm, support stress and anxiety management, and strengthen present-moment awareness during times of change or grief.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michaela works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and the strategies that feel most helpful, adjusting methods as the work evolves to ensure the best fit.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit support into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access licensed professionals without needing to travel, while still engaging in meaningful therapeutic work with a trained therapist.
