About

Michelle Copley qualified in 2011 and has since worked with people facing a wide range of concerns, including trauma - such as PTSD - grief, relationship difficulties, opioid and alcohol addiction, parenting challenges, self-harm and suicidal thoughts, depression and anxiety.

Her counselling style is engaging and collaborative, aimed at helping clients gain insight into their struggles and move forward. She understands how hard it can be to begin therapy and seeks to make that first step as manageable as possible, believing that everyone deserves respect and to be understood during times of need.

As an integrative counsellor, Michelle is trained in a variety of counselling and psychotherapy techniques and selects the approaches best suited to each person. Together with the client she develops a personalised treatment plan focused on achieving the outcomes they want.

She uses a collaborative psycho-educational method, keeping sessions conversational while exploring what is happening in a client’s life. This approach helps clients gain new perspectives, deepen understanding of their difficulties, and learn about the therapies used so they can apply that knowledge beyond therapy.

Her primary methods include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which concentrates on inner beliefs and behaviours, and Transactional Analysis (TA), which examines relationships with others. Michelle finds the combination of these approaches effective in producing positive changes. She also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) along with other therapies she is qualified in.

Michelle has experience with both in-person and remote work, and since Covid she offers sessions online only, as many clients find it easier to attend from their own surroundings at a time and place where they are unlikely to be disturbed. Clients also value not having to add travel time and costs to their therapy.

At the start of every counselling journey she views herself as offering a helping hand - providing support, guidance and empowerment - and she hopes clients will accept that hand so they can work together to get back on track.

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

Many people ask whether online therapy truly helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions. A key benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Therapists providing online care are licensed professionals, and if someone feels they need a different match they can switch therapists at any time. For many people, remote therapy offers an accessible and practical route to support without the need to travel.
