About Michelle
Michelle Dunne is a person-centred counsellor and a BACP member who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She works to create an accepting space where clients can speak openly and be heard. Michelle encourages small steps towards change and supports people as they find what helps them feel better.
Michelle offers empathic listening and straightforward feedback to help clients understand themselves more clearly. She uses person-centred principles to build trust and warmth, and she draws on motivational interviewing skills when people want to explore change and goals. Her background includes work with crisis, trauma and sudden bereavement, so she is used to holding difficult emotions over time.
She has supported people with a wide range of concerns including family conflict, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, anger and self-esteem. Additional areas she attends to include attachment and abandonment issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness and body image worries. Men’s issues and midlife questions are also listed among her focus areas.
Michelle describes herself as open-minded about diverse lifestyles and family configurations. She identifies as a late-diagnosed autistic woman and says she enjoys working with neurodivergent people. Her background spans different life contexts and relationships, which informs a flexible, non-judgemental approach.
Outside counselling she enjoys walking, travel and time with her three dogs. To begin a working relationship she aims to offer warmth, acceptance and steady support while clients explore change and healing.
How Michelle’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to and understood. The counsellor offers warmth, acceptance and non-judgemental attention so clients can explore feelings and decisions at their own pace. This approach helps when people are coping with grief, low mood or relationship worries.Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to talk about change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to help people clarify their goals and find personal motivation. This method is useful for decisions about addiction, lifestyle shifts or tackling stuck habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help you and the counsellor decide which methods best fit your needs, goals and preferences. Choice and collaboration are central to how sessions are shaped.
The practical benefits of online therapy make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. Online work can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-in meetings when needed and make it simpler to schedule around work or family commitments.
