Let’s Talk About What’s Going On.

Michelle Lumley, BACP registered counsellor at Gentle Kindness Counselling

I work with people who have spent periods of their lives feeling different. Knowing what the world expects from them but struggling with overwhelm and anxiety whilst trying to be consistent at work and in relationships.

If you find yourself easily annoyed, sad or constantly feeling overwhelmed; maybe with a sense that you are not sure who you are underneath the people pleasing. I might be the right counsellor for you.

I help people all over the world confused and overwhelmed, who are exhausted trying to fit in or please others. I help them rediscover themselves without feeling like they have to change jobs, end relationships to find peace. (If you choose to do this it’s because you discovered for yourself that they don’t really work for you.)

What Makes Gentle Kindness Different?

We find you by talking and discovering old wounds and fears that are not helping you be yourself and by identifying the real moments of you that you have experienced in your life.

In short, discovering what feels good and what doesn’t.

I offer confidence and communication building skills and techniques during our work together. You will also learn for yourself how to share with others what good looks like for you.

Working with me on line takes time and it will challenge your beliefs about yourself, especially those that keep you repeating behaviours that are frustrating. The end is finding a place with reduced anxiety, reduced overwhelm and knowing how to share what you need.

We will know when to end our work when your inner voice is yours not someone else’s.

I don’t follow a formula, I follow you. That’s what makes you feel more like you used to, when things felt more manageable.

If this resonates with you please do get in touch. I work flexible hours and across the world.

Let’s Make This Work for You

Our sessions together will be all about you. We’ll chat about what’s important to you, and I’ll listen closely. There’s no rush—no need to have all the answers or be “perfect.” This is your time to talk about what’s going on and what you want to focus on.

One-hour online sessions—from the comfort of your own home
Flexible scheduling so we can work around your life
Short-term or long-term therapy—whatever feels right for you
Ongoing check-ins to make sure our work together stays on track

Client feedback

“Has helped me find my voice and helping me heal one week at a time.”

“Michelle has been very conscientious, insightful and very approachable. Michelle has been great at making sense of the confusing, even to me, stream of consciousness and thoughts that I share with her. I’ve felt very comfortable sharing and being open and honest in response to questions I have been asked, all whilst not feeling judged. I’ve felt heard and understood and also very much supported.”
