About Michelle

Michelle Jo is a BACP counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She combines a grounding in psychology with practical mindfulness skills to support people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, motivation difficulties and relationship challenges. Michelle completed a degree in Psychology and, over a four-year period, gained a Level 1 Train to Teach Mindfulness certificate delivered by the Mindfulness Association, which informs the breathing exercises, body scans and guided meditations she uses in sessions.

Her approach emphasizes the client as the expert of their own story and focuses on empowering strengths to navigate change. She offers assertiveness training and guidance in healthy communication alongside psychoeducation to help people better understand patterns that affect their wellbeing. Michelle integrates evidence-informed methods while tailoring work to individual needs, drawing on compassion and practical skills to build confidence and resilience. She supports people through life transitions, trauma and relationship issues, and encourages the small courageous steps that lead toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and encourages taking values-guided action to build a more meaningful life; it is often used for anxiety, depression and stress-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, helping people address issues such as abandonment, intimacy difficulties and communication problems. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, offering empathic listening and support to build self-awareness, self-esteem and personal agency.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey - Michelle Jo works collaboratively to understand a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and helps identify which methods fit best. She adapts techniques to each client rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone meetings, live chat or ongoing text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from home, while allowing therapists and licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care and adapt pacing and tools to each person’s situation.
