About Michele
Michele Findley works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or big life changes. She is Michele Findley, BACP, and she aims to make the first step feel manageable. Her tone is warm and direct, and she focuses on practical ways to feel steadier day to day.
Michele draws on a range of approaches to fit the person in front of her. She uses Systemic ideas to map how relationships and routines shape what is happening now.
Background and approach
She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes that matter. In sessions Michele keeps language plain and practical. Conversations move between noticing thoughts and feelings, spotting patterns in relationships, and trying out small experiments between meetings.
The aim is clearer choices and more useful ways of handling difficult moments. She has seven years' experience and holds BACP accreditation. That background informs a calm, considered way of working that balances listening with practical suggestions.
Michele is neurodivergent-affirming and treats each person's experience as unique. Michele offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexible ways to meet. She works with people on a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, career stress, bipolar disorder and ADHD.

Online support
How Michele's approaches translate to online work
Michele commonly uses Systemic ideas to look at how relationships, routines and environments influence a person's difficulties. This helps identify small changes in patterns that can shift how someone feels. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another core strand she uses; ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and values, and on taking committed steps towards what matters despite uncomfortable feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michele will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. She treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts the plan if something does not feel helpful.
Online sessions provide practical benefits. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and keep a face-to-face rhythm. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing notes between meetings, or people who express themselves better in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to keep momentum between sessions.
