Michele Attias, BACP

Michele Attias is a BACP counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, overthinking and life changes. She works in English and Spanish and focuses on practical steps that reduce overwhelm. Michele writes and coaches as well as counselling, and she aims to make sessions straightforward and easy to follow.

She draws on a mix of approaches to suit the person in front of her. Sessions often centre on thoughts and everyday habits that keep problems going. Michele uses client-centred conversations to explore what matters to the client, then combines techniques from cognitive and acceptance-based approaches to build clearer choices and actions.

With two decades of experience, she supports people dealing with grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, workplace strain and parenting stresses. She also works with people facing more specific issues such as attachment wounds, adoption and foster care questions, neurodiversity and body-image difficulties.

Michele aims to help clients become better decision-makers and take action without added anxiety or burnout. Her work often targets improved focus, time management and energy so day-to-day life feels more manageable. Clients decide together whether they want short-term practical work or longer-term exploration.

For those ready to begin, Michele asks people to use the site Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. She accepts international clients and provides sessions according to her availability.

How Michele’s approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, connect with values, and take small action steps. It can be useful for anxiety, overthinking and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and testing them with practical experiments to change habits and reduce distress. It often helps with stress, sleep and mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with attachment issues, intimacy struggles and relationship patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michele will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try. The plan can change as progress is made, with the client and therapist deciding together what helps most.

If you want online sessions, please confirm the formats Michele currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, cut commuting time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity while travelling or living abroad. Registered or accredited professionals adapt their methods to the online setting so sessions still focus on thoughts and everyday habits relevant to daily life.
