About Michaela
Michaela Kendall offers a calm, respectful space for people feeling overwhelmed by parenting, family tensions, or life changes. She greets clients with sensitivity and aims to help them feel less alone. Sessions focus on small, practical steps so parents can cope day to day while juggling other responsibilities.
Michaela uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client's experience at the heart of sessions. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape patterns at home. When trauma or loss are part of the picture, she brings trauma-focused methods alongside mindfulness tools to help manage strong emotions.
Her practice is collaborative. She listens first, then negotiates goals together so therapy fits the family situation and parenting demands. Expect straightforward conversation, gentle reflection, and exercises you can try between meetings.
Michaela holds BACP, which indicates her membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has four years of professional experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and family concerns, and parenting strain.
People often come wanting to reduce anxiety, cope with loss, or repair strained relationships at home. Michaela can help you explore patterns, practise new ways of relating, and develop calmer routines. If you want practical support that respects your pace, she offers a steady partner for that work.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect day-to-day family life and parenting. It helps people notice repeating interaction styles and try small changes that reduce tension at home. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client, helping people feel understood and make choices at their own pace. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on the emotions beneath relationship struggles, helping to name feelings and change how people respond to each other.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with you to choose techniques that match your needs and goals. That might mean combining attachment ideas with mindfulness practices for emotion regulation, or using trauma-focused tools when past harm affects current parenting. Decisions are made in collaboration so work feels relevant to your day-to-day life.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around school runs, work breaks or caring duties, and it avoids travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by audio when energy is limited, while others favour full conversations that include mindfulness or emotionally focused exercises. Check the session formats available to find what suits your routine and needs.
