About Michele

Michele Attias is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 20 years of experience. She works in English and Spanish and helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and major life changes, as well as issues such as addiction, ADHD and relationship and intimacy concerns.

Michele frames sessions around practical choices and clearer next steps. She listens, reflects, and helps people notice what gets in the way of decisions. People are guided to develop manageable routines that affect daily energy, focus and time management.

Her work draws on several approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. Michele mixes methods to suit the person in front of her rather than using only one technique. Sessions can be short term for focused work or longer term for deeper change, depending on what the person and counsellor agree.

She also explores topics like career uncertainty, parenting strains and body image, and addresses more specific areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, and kink and alternative sex culture. Michele helps people who are struggling with overthinking, burnout or caregiving stress to set clearer priorities and act on them.

Michele is an author and life coach as well as a counsellor. For someone who feels stuck after a change in work, relationships or health, she works to make the next steps more visible and manageable. To begin, people are invited to complete the platform questionnaire and schedule a first meeting.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, overthinking and making clearer life choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical steps to change patterns of thinking and behaviour, which can help with stress, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people shift the way they relate and respond to others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michele works collaboratively to test what helps most, discussing goals and preferences and adjusting methods over time. The decision about short or longer term work is made together based on how someone responds to initial sessions.

The practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to maintain regular check-ins when life is hectic, and they can be adapted - for example, a shorter call for a quick check-in or a longer session for in-depth work. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to find a rhythm that fits everyday life.
