Michelle Taylor , BACP

Michelle Taylor offers a calm, person-centred approach to therapy that prioritises each person's pace and needs. She helps clients clarify questions and concerns that can make the first steps toward therapy feel intimidating, taking time to ensure they feel heard and understood before committing to a course of work.

As a Person-Centred counsellor registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she frames sessions around empathy, non-judgement and collaboration. Michelle works in a way that keeps clients in control of how therapy progresses, offering both short-term and longer-term support depending on what is most helpful in any given situation.

She creates a space where people can explore thoughts and feelings openly, build a trusting therapeutic relationship, and develop practical tools for personal growth. Michelle has 11 years of experience working with adults from diverse backgrounds, with particular experience supporting people affected by domestic and sexual abuse and those coping with bereavement. Her practice focuses on helping clients make sense of difficult experiences and develop better ways of managing the challenges they face.

Client-Centered Care and Online Therapy Options

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship where the client's experience guides the work. It emphasises empathic listening and acceptance so clients can explore feelings, understand patterns, and make choices that feel right for them. This approach is helpful for a wide range of concerns, including trauma, grief, relationship issues, anxiety and life transitions.

In practice Michelle adopts a flexible pace tailored to each person - offering brief interventions when specific issues need attention or longer-term support when deeper exploration is required. She works collaboratively with clients to identify goals and to decide which ways of working feel most useful, so finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process rather than a one-size-fits-all decision.

Online therapy with Michelle is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving practical options to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations and can help clients maintain continuity of care when life is busy or circumstances change, while still allowing meaningful therapeutic connection and progress.
