Michele Stow

Michele Stow is an ACA counsellor who uses a person-centred, strengths-based approach to help people manage stress, anxiety and self-esteem concerns. She explains things plainly and focuses on building practical skills that fit into everyday life. Michele has five years of experience supporting people through life changes and challenges.

Her work often involves teaching simple nervous system regulation techniques and mindfulness exercises. She also uses Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) alongside practical strategies so people can try small changes between sessions. Sessions are tailored to what each person needs and aims to leave them with tools they can use on their own.

Michele has supported clients with neurodivergence and ADHD and helps people who are coping with burnout, workplace pressure and life transitions. She also has experience with issues linked to ageing, chronic illness, caregiving and intellectual disability, and works with young adults and women on concerns like purpose and self-love.

In sessions Michele creates a calm, steady space for practising new skills. She keeps explanations clear and offers step-by-step ways to handle strong emotions and overwhelming days. The goal is to build resilience and make progress that feels realistic for everyday life.

If taking the first step feels hard, Michele encourages a gentle pace and supports people as they try new strategies. She invites people to start with small goals and build from there.

Approaches that guide online work

Michele integrates a person-centred, strengths-based approach that focuses on the person's priorities and practical needs. This means sessions begin with what matters most to the client and build from their existing strengths to set achievable goals.

She also uses nervous system regulation techniques to help people manage intense emotions and physical reactions to stress. These are short, practical exercises that can be practised between sessions to reduce overwhelm. Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is another method she uses to address stuck emotional patterns through gentle tapping and focused attention, which some people find helpful for anxiety and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Michele will collaborate with each person to pick methods that suit their preferences, needs and goals, and will adjust strategies if something does not fit. The process is practical and collaborative rather than prescriptive.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time. It can make it easier to keep regular appointments around work, study or caregiving. Because the original biography does not specify exact session formats, confirm current options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered and which format will best fit your routine.
