About Michaela

Michaela Probert is an integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people experiencing a wide range of life challenges. She supports individuals dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, anger, self-esteem concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues related to intimacy, parenting and career. Michaela also works with clients facing ADHD, sleep problems, coping with life changes, and a variety of personality or attachment-related concerns. She offers a compassionate, non-judgemental listening space and aims to help clients reconnect with their own strengths while developing practical techniques to manage day-to-day difficulties.

Drawing on an integrative training, Michaela adapts her approach to each person by combining ideas and methods from different therapeutic traditions, including Gestalt, person-centred, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic theory. This flexibility allows her to tailor sessions to individual needs so that therapy feels relevant and usable. She focuses on exploration and reflection rather than giving direct advice, supporting clients to clarify their goals and build confidence as they make changes.

Michaela is registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and brings five years of practice to her work. She welcomes people from diverse backgrounds, including LGBT clients, and looks forward to helping those who are ready to start a process of change and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and focuses on taking action that aligns with personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, low mood and when life feels stuck. Client-Centred Therapy centres the person's own experience, offering empathetic, non-directive support so clients can explore their feelings and build self-understanding; this approach often helps with self-esteem, relationship issues and emotional processing. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence current connections - it can be especially relevant for intimacy difficulties, attachment concerns and relationship or family dynamics.

Michaela works collaboratively with each client to determine which approaches are the best fit for their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques from these models as therapy progresses, and encourages clients to be active partners in choosing focus and pace so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to access a therapist from home. For many people this accessibility supports consistent engagement with therapy and allows licensed professionals to deliver meaningful support across different formats.
