About Michelle
Michelle Copley is a counsellor with 12 years' experience who works online from the United Kingdom. She draws on Jungian ideas alongside other approaches to help people make sense of their feelings and life events. Her style is warm and collaborative, aimed at making it easier to start and continue therapy.
Michelle holds BACP accreditation which she uses as a professional marker of her practice. She commonly supports people coping with stress, anxiety and depression.
Background and approach
She also helps with relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and addiction concerns. Parenting strains, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem and career changes are other areas she addresses. Additional focuses include ADHD, body image, attachment and carer stress.
Michelle uses a mix of therapeutic methods and adapts them to each person. Sessions are conversational and educational, with time spent understanding what is happening and learning practical ways to respond. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a central tool she uses to look at thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
Jungian ideas are woven in to explore meaning, patterns and personal stories. Therapy is collaborative - goals and methods are agreed together and adjusted as needed. Michelle prefers online work and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and fees vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions according to the therapist's timetable. Michelle aims to offer a steady, respectful presence and practical ways to move forward.

Online support
How different approaches work online and what to expect
Jungian-influenced work looks at personal stories, recurring patterns and symbolic meaning in life events. It can help people who want to understand deeper themes behind their feelings and choices. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience in the moment, offering a non-judgemental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-directed change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings and actions, teaching practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to agree goals and choose methods that fit their needs and preferences. That collaborative planning can be adjusted as progress is made and new priorities appear.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection between sessions. These options increase flexibility and can reduce travel time and related costs while keeping focus on the therapeutic work.
