Michelle Rutter , BACP

Michelle Rutter is a person-centred counsellor practising from a small town in the United Kingdom. She has supported many clients with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and ADHD, and has helped people who have experienced physical and emotional trauma. Michelle creates a space where clients can be open and honest and feel heard as they explore what matters to them.

Her work is grounded in person-centred and humanistic principles, which prioritise the client experience and personal growth, and she integrates cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas where they are helpful. All conversations and treatment plans are tailored to each individual, ensuring that care responds to a client’s specific circumstances and goals.

Michelle believes in treating everyone equally while recognising each person as an individual, offering compassion, sensitivity, and respect without judgment. She acknowledges that asking for support can take courage and views the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative journey toward more fulfilling and sustainable ways of living. As a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she follows recognised professional standards and a client-centred approach to care.

Michelle welcomes clients who are ready to take steps toward change and is committed to supporting them through that process.
