About Michelle
Michelle Morris is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people deal with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and trauma. She works with issues such as grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and parenting strain. Michelle welcomes direct, practical conversations and aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable.
She draws on a mix of approaches to shape sessions to each person's needs. That includes Narrative Therapy, where a person’s story is explored to find new meanings.
Background and approach
She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas to focus on how relationships and personal values affect daily life. Michelle has three years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. She adapts the pace and focus of sessions so people can work at a comfortable speed.
Sessions typically look at coping strategies, small behaviour changes, and clearer ways to talk about difficult experiences. In a session she aims to listen without judgement and to ask questions that help people notice patterns. Practical tools may be introduced alongside reflective conversation to support coping between sessions.
The goal is to help people feel more able to manage tough moments and to make choices that suit their life. Michelle encourages anyone feeling overwhelmed or stuck to take a step towards support when they are ready. She works collaboratively and lets people set the agenda so therapy stays relevant to their concerns.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Michelle directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Michelle uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves, which can make problems feel less fixed and open up new ways of coping. Narrative work is useful for issues like grief, relationship patterns and recovery from trauma. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early and current relationships shape emotions and behaviour, helping with intimacy-related problems, anxiety and codependency. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of each session, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and gentle reflection to help someone find their own answers.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Michelle will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. She adjusts the plan as therapy progresses so it stays relevant and collaborative rather than fixed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is good for a face-to-face feel, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging can fit brief updates around a busy day. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or mobility limits while keeping therapy consistent.
