Michelle Singh, BACP

Michelle Singh is a counsellor with five years of clinical experience working in the United Kingdom. She draws on straightforward, practical methods to help people facing anxiety, stress and low mood. She speaks English and welcomes people from outside the UK as well. Michelle encourages people to take the first step and is supportive when someone starts therapy for the first time.

Michelle describes clients as the experts in their own stories and works with their existing strengths. She uses a mix of approaches, including cognitive behavioural therapy, psychodynamic ideas and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to match what a person needs. Sessions aim to be collaborative and focused on small, achievable steps rather than lengthy theory.

Her areas of focus include relationship and intimacy difficulties, grief and trauma, challenges related to parenting and blended family situations, and workplace stress and career concerns. She also supports people with ADHD-related struggles, compassion fatigue, chronic health issues and a wide range of attachment and abandonment concerns. Michelle is experienced in discussing issues connected with LGBT identities and alternative sexual cultures in a non-judgemental way.

Therapy with Michelle typically looks at everyday patterns, painful memories and practical strategies to manage mood and sleeping problems. She helps people work on communication, boundary setting, and coping with life changes. The overall aim is clearer choices and more effective ways of handling difficult feelings.

If someone wants to start, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Michelle adapts therapy for online work

Michelle uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to structure many online sessions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life activities, which can help with anxiety, sleep and low mood. ACT helps people notice difficult feelings and choose values-based actions so they can move forward despite tough emotions.

She also draws on Client-Centred and psychodynamic ideas to make space for a person's story and past experiences. Michelle aims to work together with each person to find the approach that best fits their goals and preferences. That means discussing what helps most and adjusting methods as therapy progresses.

The original biography lists live instant messaging, video and telephone calls as ways she can work; please confirm which of these are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life, allow shorter check-ins when required, and remove travel time. The therapist will help set a practical plan so sessions fit into everyday routines and support steady progress.
