About Michaela

Michaela Kendall is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those facing relationship and family tensions, addiction concerns, trauma and intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue.

Michaela uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside attachment-based and client-centred approaches. In sessions she focuses on emotions and the interaction patterns that keep people stuck. She listens for what feels hard to name and helps people notice how feelings link to behaviour in relationships and daily life.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions involve noticing emotions, reflecting on patterns, and practising small changes that can ease painful moments. Mindfulness and trauma-focused techniques are used where they fit the person's needs and pace.

People who come to her often want clearer emotional communication, relief from anxiety or grief, or help managing life changes. Michaela aims to make the work practical so clients can try things between sessions and notice real differences over time.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary by location.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Michaela often draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to notice and name emotions as they show up in relationships and personal patterns. EFT can help when a person wants to understand why interactions feel painful and wants clearer emotional responses from themselves or others.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current close relationships shape reactions today. That focus helps when trust, closeness or repeated conflict are the main concerns. Her client-centred style keeps the conversation grounded in the person’s experience, giving space for what matters most to them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michaela will check in with clients about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try together. The process is collaborative and adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. Ask about the session lengths and arrangements when you complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule your first meeting.
