Michelle McGee , BACP

Michelle McGee is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and grief. She draws on five years of professional experience to offer calm, practical support. Michelle meets people with sensitivity and respect and focuses on what matters most to each person.

She typically starts by listening to the person's story and identifying the immediate concerns. From there she works with them to set clear, achievable goals. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on everyday changes that feel manageable.

Michelle's background includes helping people cope with family problems, parenting stress and the challenges of life transitions. She also supports those dealing with trauma, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem concerns and the overlaps between work and wellbeing. Additional areas she has helped with include caring roles, bereavement and health-related stresses.

Her practice recognises the effects of attachment, blended family dynamics and communication breakdowns on relationships. Michelle pays attention to guilt, shame and forgiveness when these come up, and she can assist people navigating separation, fertility or end-of-life concerns. She tailors conversations and plans to each person's situation rather than offering one-size-fits-all advice.

Michelle is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take clients from outside the United Kingdom.

Therapeutic approaches and how they adapt online

Michelle describes her work as practical and goal-focused, using evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. One approach she commonly uses helps people break problems into smaller, manageable steps and practise new coping strategies between sessions; this is useful for anxiety, stress and life-change challenges. Another approach concentrates on relationship patterns and attachment issues, helping people notice how past experiences shape current connections and communication.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. Michelle discusses options with each person and adapts the way she works to fit that person’s needs, goals and preferences. Together they choose methods that feel useful and realistic for the situation at hand.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people join from different locations when scheduling is tricky. Michelle and other registered or accredited professionals can talk through practical arrangements and help you decide what will work best.
