She supports people through a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma, addiction and issues around self-esteem, work and parenting.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Michaela

Michaela offers several evidence-informed approaches adapted for remote work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and creating a supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings; it is often helpful for building self-awareness, improving relationships and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and developing practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood and address stress-related difficulties. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access resources within a client's experience; it can be used alongside other approaches to support habit change, manage stress responses and explore underlying issues.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapeutic process. Michaela works collaboratively with each person to choose or blend methods that best match their needs, goals and preferences, reviewing and adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to continue consistent work on goals regardless of location and can be adapted to suit the pace and format that each client prefers.
