About Michele
Michele Attias is a BACP counsellor who works in English and Spanish. She aims to help people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or big life changes. Michele keeps sessions practical and focused so people can start making small changes quickly.
She draws on two decades of experience and combines several approaches to meet each person's needs. Michele uses system-focused thinking to look at how relationships and routines affect wellbeing.
Background and approach
She also works in a client-centred way that prioritises each person's goals and pace. Michele often brings in techniques from cognitive behavioural work and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help manage unhelpful thoughts and build actions that match values. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns are part of the difficulty.
Sessions can be short-term coaching-style work or longer therapeutic work depending on what someone wants. Her style is warm, attentive and energetic. Michele supports people to improve concentration, time management and decision-making when stress or burnout are getting in the way.
She also addresses concerns such as sleep, eating, intimacy, parenting challenges and career strain. Michele practises in the United Kingdom and accepts clients internationally. She is the author of Look Inside: Stop Seeking Start Living and offers therapy in both English and Spanish.

Online support
Practical approaches for online therapy
Systemic thinking looks at how a person's relationships and daily routines shape feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can explore those patterns and how changes to interactions or habits might reduce stress and conflict.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. In remote work this often means setting small, achievable tasks between sessions to build momentum and reduce avoidance.
Attachment-based work examines how early relationship experiences influence current connections. When relationship patterns cause anxiety or mistrust, online sessions can help identify recurring dynamics and practise new ways of relating.
Michele treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. She will talk through options and adapt techniques to match each person's goals, pace and preferences. The exact mix is agreed together and reviewed as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls are useful when visual cues matter, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quicker check-in and text messaging suits brief updates or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while still focusing on practical change.
