About Michaela
Michaela Probert meets people where they are and helps them talk through things that feel overwhelming. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people who are feeling low, anxious or stuck. Michaela uses straightforward conversation and practical tools so people can start to feel more capable and in control.
Michaela is a counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has five years' experience working with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, body image, ADHD and workplace difficulties. Her approach is integrative. That means she draws on different ways of working to suit the person in front of her.
She uses client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural ideas for practical change, attachment-based thinking about relationships, and Jungian therapy to look at deeper personal meaning. Sessions are conversational and focused on what the client wants to change. Michaela uses gentle questioning, reflective listening and exercises to help people notice patterns and try small changes.
She aims to help people reconnect with their own strengths and build skills for managing emotions and difficult situations. Michaela works online and offers a flexible format that fits into busy lives. She supports people who want help with coping after loss, recovering from abuse, managing anger, resolving commitment and communication problems, and making sense of life transitions.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches online and what to expect
Michaela uses Jungian therapy to explore personal meaning, symbols and themes that recur in a person's life, which can help when someone is searching for deeper understanding. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, which focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings and taking values-led action rather than getting stuck in unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings and behaviour, helping people improve how they relate to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michaela will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those aims. The process is collaborative - the therapist and client check what helps and adjust as they go.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing expression matters, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing their thoughts. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, parenting and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and practical coping skills.
