Michaela Bunney

Professional Profile

I am a qualified and BABCP accredited CBT therapist working with Think CBT from Cornwall and I offer remote therapy across the UK.

Since 2013, I have been working as a therapist across various settings, including NHS primary care talking therapy services and private sector talking therapies. 

My current areas of interest include: neuro-affirming therapy for neurodivergent clients (inc. Autism and ADHD), people experiencing low self-esteem or a harsh inner critic, work-related stress, burnout or imposter syndrome and perinatal and/or parental low mood and anxiety. Being neurodivergent is not a pre-requesite, if my profile speaks to you, please do get in touch.

I am qualified to assess and treat individuals aged 18+ presenting with a range of common mental health problems including anxiety, depression, specific anxiety disorders, OCD, Social Anxiety, PTSD, low self-esteem and work-related stress across a range of intensity from mild-severe.

Since discovering that I was AuDHD at a later life, I have built on my training and learning around the neuroscience, neuroendocrinology, women’s health and adapting therapy to create a neuro-affirming space which helps you to understand yourself better. Whether you’re curious or diagnosed, along with developing approaches for letting go of learnt behaviours that no longer serve you, whilst recognising what is beneath the mask, never changing the parts of you that make you, you.

My approach to therapy is a blend of evidence based adapted, cognitive behaviour therapy, integrating compassion focused therapy and trauma focused CBT or EMDR therapy. I completed EMDR training in April 2026 and I am working towards accreditation status.

I pride myself on my intuitive, compassionate and collaborative approach. I have excellent rates of retention and recovery and know how to skilfully tailor therapy to meet the needs of individuals.

I am British Born Chinese and my cultural identity has shaped my therapeutic approach which encompasses Eastern and Western wellbeing practices where suitable.

I abide by the policies and ethical standards laid down by the BABCP and I have full professional indemnity, ICO registration and supervision with accredited supervisors to work as a therapist in the UK.
