About Michaela

Michaela Kendall works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, self-esteem, addictions, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting, depression, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. She practices using Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience.

Michaela offers a straightforward way of working. She listens to what matters to each person and uses agreed approaches to help them manage difficult feelings. Sessions focus on understanding patterns in relationships, responses to stress, and practical ways to cope day to day. Mindfulness is sometimes used to help people notice their thoughts and feelings without judgement.

She uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationships can shape current connections and emotional responses. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to help people understand and express emotions that affect their relationships. Trauma-focused methods are applied when past harm continues to affect mood, behaviour or relationships.

Michaela aims to be clear about the aims for therapy and to work collaboratively on those goals. She supports people as they practise new ways of relating and managing distress between sessions. Progress is reviewed regularly and the plan is adjusted according to how someone reports feeling.

Sessions are delivered from within the United Kingdom and are conducted in English. Michaela is registered with the BACP and brings four years of practical experience to her counselling practice.

How her approaches are used in online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how earlier relationships affect current feelings and patterns. Online sessions can use this approach to help people notice and change repetitive relationship habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people recognise and express emotions that shape their close relationships and interactions. In online meetings this can mean working on how feelings are named and shared during sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgement, which can help with stress and anxiety between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michaela will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and agree together which methods to use. She adjusts the plan as progress is reported so the approach stays relevant to the client’s needs.

The original biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can help fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and making it easier to attend from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that is useful and reduce the need for being on camera if that helps someone engage more comfortably.
