Michelle King Counselling

About Me:
Hello. My name is Michelle and I offer client focused, compassionate and nurturing counselling. I specialise in supporting people through anxiety, ADHD, self-esteem/confidence issues, family conflict, bereavement and loss and addiction.

My Approach:
Every circumstance and situation is unique and no two people are the same and I work in a way that adapts to your unique needs, rather than following a ‘one size fits all’ method. As an integratively trained counsellor, I am able to draw upon a variety of techniques, adaptable in supporting you in getting to the roots of your distress, at a pace comfortable to you. This flexibility can be especially supportive for clients who are neurodiverse or experience high levels of anxiety, while still offering a grounded, responsive approach for anyone seeking space to explore their wellbeing. I believe that healing happens when we feel understood and my role is to walk alongside you with understanding and respect.

Counselling is not about forcing change. It is about creating space for you to breathe, reflect and grow. My hope is that you leave each session feeling lighter, more empowered and more connected to yourself.

Life doesn’t always go how we expect and certainly has its challenges, which can leave us feeling stuck, lost or a general sense of ‘where do I go from here’, which can feel very overwhelming. I am here to listen, support and walk alongside you in your circumstances. You do not need to feel alone in navigating all of the practical and emotional elements that life can bring.

My journey into counselling:
My own lived experiences and life journey have created my passion for supporting others to navigate their challenges and circumstances, just as I was supported in overcoming my challenges with severe anxiety and bereavement and losses I have experienced. The support I received became the foundation of my passion and motivation to pursue a career in counselling. I know first hand how important having ‘the right person’ is in helping to overcome challenges and the need to have a warm, safe and welcoming space to explore challenges collaboratively , with the right counsellor for you.

Who do I work with?
I work with adults of all ages and young people. I offer short term or longer term counselling, depending on individual need. I specialise in the following areas:
Anxiety
Low self-esteem, worth, confidence
Bereavement, pre-bereavement and loss
Life changes/circumstances (Ill health, relationship breakups, financial struggles, job loss etc)
Family conflict
Addiction and recovery
