About Michaela

Michaela Kendall offers a calm, straightforward space for people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or relationship strain. She writes simply and listens closely so clients can say what matters. Sessions aim to help people feel less alone and to find practical ways to cope with difficult feelings.

She works in a collaborative way and adapts sessions to each person’s needs. Michaela uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred ideas to help people understand how emotions shape relationships and everyday life.

Background and approach

She also draws on mindfulness and trauma-focused approaches where these are useful. Over four years she has helped people manage anxiety, depression, parenting pressures, substance-related concerns and compassion fatigue. She supports those dealing with grief, intimacy questions and the impact of trauma and abuse.

Her approach is gentle and respectful, with attention to what a person wants to change. In sessions she encourages noticing feelings, naming what matters and trying new ways of relating to others and to oneself. Practical exercises and simple mindfulness practices are used to help with stress and grounding.

Conversations are paced to suit each person’s comfort and goals. Michaela holds BACP accreditation, which is listed in her professional details. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose the format that fits their life.

Getting started involves a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Online support

How emotion-focused and attachment work online

Michaela commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand strong feelings and how those feelings affect relationships and day-to-day life. EFT aims to name emotions clearly and use them to guide changes in how people respond to one another.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns of closeness and distance in relationships. That approach helps identify repeated interaction styles and offers ways to build more supported ways of relating. Client-centred work underpins sessions by keeping the person's perspective central and following their pace.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Michaela will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree which approaches to use. The plan can change as therapy progresses to match what is most helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work between sessions.
