Michelle King, BACP

Michelle King is a psychotherapeutic counsellor and clinical supervisor who works with adolescents and adults facing a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, and the practical and emotional demands of coping with life changes. Her practice also addresses related concerns such as abandonment and attachment issues, family and blended family problems, caregiver stress, communication and control issues, dissociation, and difficulties linked to neurodivergence including autism and Asperger Syndrome.

She offers one-to-one counselling on either a short-term or long-term basis, tailored to each person’s circumstances and goals. Her approach is rooted in person-centred therapy, which places the individual’s experience at the centre of the work, and she integrates creative methods alongside talking therapy and strategy-based interventions when these suit the client’s needs. Sessions may include exploration of past experiences to consider how earlier events influence current behaviour and relationships, with a balance of empathetic support and gentle, respectful challenge to encourage insight and growth.

Michelle values the experience of being heard without judgement and believes counselling can help people understand themselves better, heal, and move forward with greater clarity. She holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Michelle practises in the United Kingdom and works with people presenting issues such as self-harming behaviours, neurodivergence, fertility and family-related stress, first responder issues, gender dysphoria, and other complex life concerns. She aims to create a collaborative therapeutic space where clients can explore what matters most to them and work toward meaningful change.
