About Michaela
Michaela Probert is a counsellor who helps people feeling low, overwhelmed, or unsure about what’s wrong. She offers a listening space where clients can talk through specific issues or general life strain. Conversations aim to build confidence and practical ways to cope, rather than giving direct advice.
Michaela brings five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. She uses a blend of approaches so sessions can be adapted to what each person needs. That flexibility supports practical problem solving as well as deeper reflection.
Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, grief, depression and self-esteem concerns. She also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, sleep problems, career changes and ADHD-related challenges. Adoption and foster care is listed among her additional focus areas and may be discussed in sessions.
Methods drawn on include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Jungian Therapy. These are used selectively to suit the goals you bring to therapy.
Sessions are framed around the person rather than a fixed formula. Conversations explore feelings, patterns and practical steps you can try between meetings. Michaela aims to help clients notice what matters to them and take manageable actions towards those values.
How these approaches work online and why they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while choosing actions that reflect what matters. It can help with anxiety, low mood and making clearer decisions about priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce distress, which is useful for anxiety, sleep problems and mood management. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand connection and trust issues that show up in adult relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work, childcare and busy days, and reducing travel time so meetings are easier to keep. If you need details about specific session formats, check the current options before booking so you know what will be available. Registered or accredited professionals can use these methods effectively online, and sessions can concentrate on talking, short exercises and planning doable steps between meetings.
