About Michaela

When someone feels low, overwhelmed, or not quite themselves, Michaela Probert invites them to explore those feelings in conversation. She works with people who are unsure what is wrong as well as those facing a specific life difficulty, and encourages anyone who feels that talking might help to make contact.

She is passionate about supporting people from all walks of life to move through distress. Rather than offering direct advice, she provides space to be truly heard, responding with compassion and a non-judgemental stance while guiding a process of exploration and reflection. Her aim is to help clients reconnect with their own strengths so they can progress toward personal goals, build renewed confidence, and put practical techniques into practice to manage more effectively.

Michaela practises as an integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom. Her integrative training means she draws on elements from Gestalt, person-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic theory to tailor the work to each individual. This flexible approach allows her to adapt to different needs, whether someone seeks better ways of coping with current problems or is searching for greater meaning in their life.

She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and looks forward to working with people ready to start their therapeutic journey.

Therapeutic Approaches Applied to Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It combines practical exercises with values-based work so clients can take meaningful action even when emotions are challenging, which can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related difficulties.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships that shape how people relate to others and to themselves. This approach can support those dealing with relationship challenges, abandonment issues, or difficulties formed in early caregiving relationships.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the process, offering empathic listening and unconditional acceptance to help individuals find their own solutions and build self-understanding. It is useful for a wide range of concerns, from self-esteem to life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Michaela will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit best with a client’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as the work progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life. For many people this accessibility helps maintain momentum in therapy and makes it simpler to access support when it is most needed.
