Michele Attias, BACP

Michele Attias is a BACP-accredited counsellor and life coach who works in English and Spanish. She aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are nervous about reaching out. Michele listens carefully and uses a warm, energetic manner to help clients feel understood and supported.

She takes a holistic view that looks at physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual needs. Sessions are delivered in a client-centred, integrative way, so techniques are chosen to fit each person rather than a single fixed method. Michele also writes and offers practical tools drawn from her book Look Inside: Stop Seeking Start Living.

Across a twenty-year career she has worked with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and major life changes. She also supports people facing burnout, relationship and intimacy questions, parenting strain, eating and sleeping difficulties, career setbacks and challenges linked to ADHD and bipolar mood issues.

Michele describes her role as helping people make clearer decisions and take purposeful action. Clients can work on improving concentration, time management and energy, while reducing overwhelm and overthinking. She discusses whether short or longer-term work suits each person during sessions.

Sessions accept international clients and are informed by approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Michele brings two decades of practical experience to the work and adapts methods to each client’s needs.

How these therapeutic approaches can work online

Michele uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy among other approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people focus on what matters and take small steps aligned with their values, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change unhelpful interaction habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to use. That collaborative planning helps tailor sessions so techniques fit real life and feel manageable.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people join from different locations, which helps those living abroad or juggling work and family commitments.
