About Michala
Michala Cherry is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with a BACP registration and six years of professional experience. She focuses on supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and grief. Michala aims to make the first step into therapy as straightforward as possible for a worried parent or carer.
Her approach is warm and direct. She offers a space where people can talk through difficult feelings without judgement. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on practical next steps that fit into everyday life.
Michala helps people manage relationship strain, parenting pressures and struggles with mood such as depression or bipolar symptoms. She also supports those coping with addiction, anger, eating or sleeping problems and work-related stress. She pays attention to issues around intimacy, self-esteem and career choices when these are part of the problem.
Clients can expect a collaborative style. Michala listens first, then suggests ways forward that suit each person’s situation. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to practical goals like better sleep, calmer reactions or clearer communication.
Those coming for help with ADHD, compassion fatigue, or LGBT related matters will find a clinician who recognises the complexity of these concerns and works to make progress step by step.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Michala uses well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviour and process difficult experiences. One common approach focuses on identifying and shifting thought patterns that increase anxiety or low mood, helping clients replace them with more balanced responses and clearer choices.Another approach involves gradual, practical changes to daily routines and habits. This can include structured strategies for better sleep, managing urges linked to addiction, or breaking problems into small, achievable steps. These methods are useful for parenting stress, coping with grief and improving day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is a shared task. Michala will listen to your priorities and suggest methods that match your goals and preferences. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the plan as progress is made.
