Michelle Banfield-Curran, BACP, NCPS

Michelle Banfield-Curran is a UK-based counsellor who supports people facing anxiety, struggles with identity, relationship strain, trauma, and the pain of loss. With three years of professional experience and credentials listed as BACP and NCPS, she brings a compassionate, person-centered approach while drawing on psychodynamic, attachment-based, Jungian, narrative, mindfulness, and trauma-focused methods to help clients explore patterns and work toward meaningful change.

She works with individuals who feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or uncertain whether life can improve, offering a calm space to examine repeating themes, difficult experiences, and questions that are hard to navigate alone. Michelle emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and tailored care, shaping conversations and treatment plans around each personâs specific needs and goals.

Her practice covers a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem, with additional focus areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, blended family challenges, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, separation, domestic violence, and forgiveness. Michelle frames therapy as a collaborative process and acknowledges the courage it takes to begin, offering steady support for those ready to take a first step toward change.
