About Michelle Allard
Michelle Allard is an integrative therapist working in the United Kingdom who adapts her approach to fit each person she meets. She blends Gestalt methods, psychodynamic thinking, and cognitive behavioral techniques to offer flexible, personalised support that aims to respond to whoever walks through the door. Rather than following a single formula, she works collaboratively with clients to identify patterns, explore past influences, and find practical ways forward.
Michelle pays particular attention to how earlier experiences may shape present thoughts, emotions, and relationships, helping clients untangle recurring difficulties that limit their day-to-day life. She has experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression and low mood, relationship challenges, grief and loss, and anger management, and she approaches that work with a steady, listening presence.
Building a trusting therapeutic relationship is central to Michelle's practice. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental style and aims to empower clients to feel heard, accepted, and understood. Whether the focus is short-term and goal oriented or longer-term and exploratory, Michelle moves at the client’s pace and believes the person in therapy is the expert in their own story. She is here to offer practical support and encouragement for people taking the first steps toward a more fulfilling life. She holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Could Remote Sessions Be a Good Fit?
Many people ask whether meeting with a therapist online can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions, online therapy is widely used and can be an effective option comparable to in-person work for many people.One clear benefit of online therapy is flexibility. Individuals can choose the way they connect that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit support into a busy schedule or to continue therapy when travel or location would otherwise be a barrier.
Licensed professionals provide online sessions, and clients are generally able to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For those weighing their options, online therapy can offer accessible and adaptable support from trained therapists while allowing people to engage from the place that feels most comfortable for them.
