Michele Stow

Michele Stow is an ACA counsellor who focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, self-esteem and life transitions. She works with people who want tools they can use day to day and offers a calm, person-centred approach. Michele aims to help clients build coping skills that last beyond sessions.

With five years of professional experience, Michele supports people across a wide age range, including children, adolescents, adults, parents and carers. She draws on strengths-based ideas and nervous system regulation to help people manage strong emotions and reduce overwhelm. Her practice includes attention to ADHD, neurodivergence and workplace strain.

Michele often uses Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and mindfulness alongside simple, practical strategies. These tools are chosen to fit into a client's routine so they can be repeated between sessions. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Sessions are shaped around each person’s goals and pace. Michele aims to create a space where resilience can grow and where practical coping skills are developed. She encourages people to notice small changes as those build into lasting difference.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and Michele offers step-by-step support to make beginning therapy clearer. People who want straightforward techniques and a collaborative approach may find her style suits their needs.

How evidence-based approaches translate into online care

Michele uses a mix of practical, evidence-informed techniques that are easy to describe and practise. Mindfulness involves simple attention exercises that help reduce reactivity and calm the nervous system; it is useful for anxiety, stress and building tolerance for difficult emotions. Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) combines tapping with focused attention on feelings to reduce distress and support emotional regulation; it can be helpful for anxiety, phobias and acute overwhelm.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Michele works with each person to decide which techniques suit their needs, goals and day-to-day life. Together they try methods, track what helps, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule, let people join from a quieter place, or allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It also lets techniques like mindfulness and EFT be practised between sessions and reviewed together, keeping therapy grounded in everyday routines. Appropriately qualified therapists can guide how to adapt each method for effective online use.
