About Michelle

Michelle Allard is an integrative therapist practicing in the United Kingdom who tailors her work to each person's unique circumstances. She blends Gestalt, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to create flexible, individualized support that reflects the needs and goals of the person in therapy. Michelle pays close attention to how earlier experiences have shaped current thoughts, emotions, and relationships, and she works collaboratively to help untangle recurring patterns that can feel limiting.

Her experience includes supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression and low mood, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and anger management. Michelle places strong emphasis on building a trusting therapeutic relationship and offers a calm, attentive approach that aims to help people feel heard, accepted, and understood. She encourages clients to draw on their own strengths while exploring different ways forward.

Michelle believes there is no fixed timetable for change and that therapy should proceed at a pace that feels right for the individual. Whether seeking focused short-term work or longer-term exploration, she supports each person as the expert of their own story and accompanies them as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life. Michelle also holds BACP, which denotes membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Attachment, Client-Centered, and CBT Online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current emotional patterns and interpersonal connections. It can help people understand feelings of abandonment, attachment issues, and difficulties forming close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and respect, giving the individual space to explore their thoughts and values while the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Michelle Allard works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines methods when helpful and adjusts the focus as the work progresses, involving clients in decisions about their care.

Online therapy with Michelle includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access support from different locations and at times that suit varying schedules. These options provide flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments, and allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain consistent therapeutic momentum across distance.
