About Michaela
Michaela Probert welcomes people who feel low, overwhelmed or out of step with life. She offers a calm, attentive space for anyone who wants to talk through a specific issue or simply needs help feeling more like themselves. Michaela uses conversation and reflection to help people reconnect with their strengths and move towards clearer, realistic goals.
She describes her style as compassionate and non-judgemental. Sessions focus on listening first, then exploring thoughts, feelings and patterns together. Techniques are introduced when they feel helpful, so practical coping tools can sit alongside deeper reflection.
Michaela works in an integrative way, drawing on different approaches to suit each person. That means she can adopt focused strategies for stress and anxiety or take a gentler, reflective route for identity and relationship concerns. Her experience includes supporting people with grief, trauma, low self-esteem and life changes, plus areas such as ADHD and parenting strain.
Her training is recognised by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Michaela has five years' experience in counselling and offers sessions from the United Kingdom. She speaks English.
People affected by natural or human-caused disasters are listed among the areas she can help with, alongside issues such as sleep problems, intimacy-related worries and career uncertainty. To begin, clients are encouraged to consider what they most want to change and bring that into the first session.
How Michaela’s approaches fit online therapy
Michaela draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to values-based actions. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means sessions begin with attentive, non-judgemental listening and follow the client's lead. This approach is helpful for people who need support processing grief, relationship worries or self-esteem issues.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. Plans are reviewed as the work progresses so techniques can be adjusted if something else would be more useful.
If you are considering online work, check the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits the day. It can also be helpful when quieter surroundings or not being on camera are preferable, but confirm the exact formats offered before you book.
