About Michele
Michele Attias is a BACP counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and offers a warm, attentive space for people beginning therapy or returning after a break. Michele writes and coaches as well as practising therapy, and brings that practical focus to sessions.
Her approach mixes practical tools with a focus on how relationships and past experiences affect daily life. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy alongside attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas. In sessions she listens closely, helps people notice patterns, and suggests small experiments to test new ways of coping.
Michele aims to address physical, emotional, social and spiritual aspects of a person’s life. That can mean working on sleep and eating habits, managing overwhelm, or building clearer boundaries at work. She also supports people facing grief, addiction-related concerns, identity and intimacy questions, and career stress.
Over two decades of practice shape her coaching and therapeutic style. Michele encourages practical steps that improve energy and focus, and she helps clients become more confident decision-makers. You can talk about short-term goals or longer-term change and choose the pace that suits you.
If you are unsure where to start she offers a simple first conversation to map priorities and next steps. Sessions are aimed at helping you reduce overwhelm, gain clarity, and take concrete steps toward the life you want.

How Michele's approaches translate to online therapy
Michele uses cognitive behavioural therapy and attachment-based ideas to guide much of her work. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy, trust and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with you to choose methods that match your goals, needs and preferences. Together you can decide whether to focus on short-term practical changes or deeper relational patterns, and adapt the plan as progress is made.
Confirm the session formats before booking to know what is currently offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, save travel time and allow for flexible scheduling. Some people like shorter check-ins by phone when they have limited time, while others prefer longer video conversations for deeper work. Michele will discuss what will suit your routine and what helps you engage with the therapeutic tasks.
