About Michelle
Michelle Fear is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family problems, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem concerns and LGBT issues. Michelle also lists related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness.
Michelle uses straightforward conversation to help people name what feels wrong and notice patterns that keep problems repeating. She adapts sessions to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all script. That can mean looking at past relationships, current behaviours, or how trauma still affects day-to-day life.
The work often blends methods that focus on relationships and on how past experiences shape the present. Sessions can include exploring attachment styles, talking through painful memories, or using client-centred work where the client's priorities lead the conversation. Michelle aims to help people understand why they feel stuck and to find practical ways to change small, achievable things.
She has particular experience around family conflict, separation and the emotional fallout of betrayal or loss. People who carry guilt or shame linked to family, faith or relationships may find her focus areas relevant. Michelle also supports those navigating loneliness, infidelity, control and commitment worries.
For first steps she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape expectations of others and responses to stress. It can help when patterns of clinging, avoidance or fear of abandonment keep repeating in adult relationships.Client-centred work gives the person control of the conversation. The counsellor follows the client’s agenda, reflects what they say, and helps clarify priorities and choices in day-to-day life.
Choosing an approach is part of the work. Michelle treats that as a collaborative process. She will talk through what feels most important, try methods that fit the person’s goals, and adjust the way she works as the sessions progress.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around work, parenting or travel, and saving the time it takes to get to appointments. If you want to use online counselling, confirm the available session formats before booking so they match your needs. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally find that remote sessions can make it easier to keep continuity and check in more often without long gaps.
